Welcome to 7th Grade!!!

 

 

Remember to check Google Classroom daily to see your assignments that are due each day. 

 

I am the 7th grade math resource teacher in both houses. I am looking forward to working with each of you as we find the best way to enhance your math skills.  We will use a variety of materials and a hands on approach to develop skills. Each student will learn through inquiry based activities and direct instruction to discover understanding of the skills.  Our math class allows you to explore, question, explain, and persevere as we seek answers to essential questions that will encourage abstract thought. Remember that "For Success, ATTITUDE is as important as ABILITY."  I encourage all students to seek assistance by asking questions and being active learners in and out of the classroom.
