Upcoming Topics

Hi guys! I hope the first couple days of seventh grade have gone smoothly for you! I just wanted to give you a heads up of some upcoming topics we will be covering.

Periods 1/2 and 3/4:
For the next two weeks we will be reviewing math skills from previous grades. These are pre-requisite skills that students should have in order to be successful this year in math. The skills will be: Order of Operations, Place Value, Rounding, Multiplying Whole Numbers, Long Division, Decimal Operations, Fraction Operations, Number Lines and the Coordinate Plane. In the next two weeks in class, students will be creating their own reference sheets for these topics. Once the reference sheets are complete students will bring them to math class everyday to refer to if they forget how to perform one of the skills. There will be a quiz on all of these skills on September 9th . Students will be able to use their reference sheets on the quiz.

Period 8:
The upcoming unit will cover Exponents, Exponent Operations, Negative Exponents and Scientific Notation. There is no tentative test date for this unit as of now.

First Week of School!

Welcome Back to School!

Welcome back to school and welcome to 7th grade! Visit this blog on a daily/weekly basis to keep up with what is going on in Ms. Murray's math class. You will find weekly agendas, homework assignments, reminders, helpful websites or videos and sometimes extra credit opportunities! I look forward to getting to know all of you this school year! We are going to have fun and learn a lot!!!!!!!! Here's a look ahead to what we will be doing this week in class.

Periods 1/2, 3/4 and 8: 

Wednesday students will learn lunch room procedures, receive locker assignments, meet all of their new teachers and learn junior high procedures and rules. In math class we will only have time to play some "icebreaker" games.

Thursday students will run through their normal daily schedule. In math class we will go over the welcome packet, syllabus and assignment notebook and then they will be given a fun group challenge to work out. Each student will create a goal they wish to achieve for first quarter. HOMEWORK: get parent/guardian signature on syllabus and discipline sign off sheet

Friday students will take the first quarter benchmark assessment on adding and subtracting rational numbers and solving one step equations. We will then go over classroom procedures/rules and students will be introduced to the Google Doodle Classroom Challenge. HOMEWORK: work on Google Doodle
