Hello All, this week our seventh grade students will be finishing out their study of probability with compound probability being the primary topic of conversation. This week, students will be responsible for three assignments; the 7.3-7.4 quiz, the chapter 7 test, and their weekly homework. This week, homework will consist of 34 problems which is comprised of concepts from last week as well as Monday of this week. As we get later in the year, I will be stepping up the number of problems in our homework so as to build up students' stamina for this type of work.

Hello All, as our seventh graders wrap up percentages this week, we will do so in two ways. First, because of delays on Friday of last week, we will be finishing the chapter 6 test on Monday(2/2/2026), before starting a project which will last throughout the rest of the week. Students will still have homework this week, but it's important to know that it will be forward looking. So much of the material may be unfamiliar. Please know that I am here to help and happy to provide resources and clarification where necessary.

Hello All! Now that we're back into the swing of things, we are moving right along through the sixth unit of our year. This week, our focus will hone in on percentage measurements of increase and decrease. This week, students are responsible for their weekly homework and we will be attempting to finish the performance task we began last Friday on Friday (1/23) of this week.

Hello All, and welcome back from winter break! During this first week back our seventh grade students will start the week by reviewing in class expectations and taking our progress assessment. Then they will have their focus on percentages, fractions, and decimals just as we did before break. This week, students will only be responsible for one assignment, their weekly homework. Homework for this first week back consists of 25 problems which are both review from the week before break and the material in these problems will be retaught and expanded upon between Wednesday and Thursday of this week.                

Hello All! This week, our seventh graders will be finishing out the unit on ratios and proportions. We will be briefly covering how to determine the change in scale of a scale drawing, beginning a brief project which ties together the concepts of our chapter, and finally we will prepare for and take the chapter 5 test at the end of the week. This week, students will be responsible for three assignments; the chapter 5 test, the chapter project(which won't be due until next SCHOOL week), and the weekly homework. This consisting of 30 problems, all of which are from varying points in the past three weeks in order to help with studying for this week's test.

Hello All, This week, our students will be learning about graphing proportional relationships and determining the proportionality of drawings and scale models when scaled up or down. This week, students will be responsible  the 5.4-5.6 quiz on Wednesday, the weekly homework (24 problems; comprised mostly of material from before break, with material from Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of this week scattered throughout), and a new project which I will initiate on Friday to solidify students' understanding of this topic. Additionally, on Thursday and Friday of this week, we will be taking MAPS tests.

Hello All! However, we will be beginning the fifth unit of the year which covers ratios and proportions. Students will be responsible for their weekly homework. Homework this week is relatively long, consisting of 32 problems. This is due to shorter problems with lower complexity, Thus, the increase volume is intended to solidify understanding. The first 10 problems are all retrospective from the past two weeks, the next 10 will be taught at the beginning of the week on Monday and Tuesday, and the remaining 13 will be covered on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. As always, feel free to reach out with any questions!

Hello All! This week our seventh graders will be finishing up their study of equations and inequalities culminating in the chapter 4 test on Thursday. This week, students will be responsible for two assignments; the chapter 4 test and the Q2 week 4 homework. Homework will be a bit shorter this week in alignment with the shorter week, with 21 problems, virtually all of which being taught during the previous week in review for the test on Thursday. 

Hello All! This week, we will continue our study of inequalities with a focus on solving inequalities involving expressions and variables using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. This week, our students will be responsible for only two assignments; a late chapter 4 quiz on Thursday, and the weekly homework. This week, homework will contain 25 problems. Of these, the first 15 are practice of last week's material, 16-20 will be taught on Monday and Tuesday, and finally 21-25 will be taught on Wednesday and Thursday.

Hello All! This week, our seventh graders will develop their ability to solve two-step equations(Think: Isolating a variable using two operations) and, once we've completed this, we will then move on to the writing and graphing of inequalities on the number line. This week, our students will be responsible for two assignments; The sections 4.1-4.3 Quiz on Tuesday  and finally the W2 Week 2 homework (Due: 11/3/2025). Within the homework, there are twenty-four problems. Of these problems, the first nineteen will be material from the preceding week and from Monday and Tuesday of this week. The remaining five problems will be covered on Wednesday and Thursday.

Hello All! Welcome back for our first week of Quarter 2. This week, in math, we will start with a progress assessment to measure students' progress to-date. Then, our students will be introduced to algebraic equations as well as how to solve them. We will be primarily focused on solving simple equations in one step using addition and subtraction. Homework this week will be a bit shorter as we reacclimate to the academic environment, consisting of 18 problems divided into three sections. The first nine problems will be review of content from before break. The remaining eight problems will be from material which will be taught on Wednesday. Additionally, please be aware that I will be out of the building from Monday-Wednesday of this week as I will be leading the 5th and 6th grade outdoor education field trip. Mrs. Calder of the 5/6 pod will be substituting in my classroom during these days.

Hello All! As we come into October break our seventh graders will push one final hill in our closing of chapter 3. We have actually moved cleanly through this material and are at a great point for evaluation. Thus, we will start this week by preparing the the 15-question test which we will take on Wednesday, and students will have two practice-tests available to them for studying. One to complete in class and a second to take home and use in their own time. There will be no homework this week to open some time for test prep. As an additional heads-up, seventh graders have a field trip to the Denver Museum of Nature and Sciences on Tuesday.

Hello All! This week, we will continue our dive into algebraic expressions. Particularly, this week, we will be learning how to add and subtract algebraic expressions with like terms. This week, students will be responsible for three assignments: this week's homework(20 problems, or less than 7 per-night if completed in equal segments on the nights of Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday), and the 2.1-2.2 quiz. Please look out for the conference link coming out later this week. 

Hello All! This week, our students will come to the end of chapter two, the study of multiplication and division of rational numbers. On Thursday of this week, we will have a brief quiz on the latter sections of this second chapter. Otherwise, notes from this week will be collected on Friday, and homework is due this coming Monday (9/16/2024). This week's homework will consist of twenty-eight problems. As students grow in their experience completing homework assignments, I aim to slowly increase the length of these assignments as a means of gradually growing their academic stamina and fortitude over the course of the year.
