Math Foundations 7 Syllabus 2015-2016

Mrs. Dominguez
Welcome to 7th Grade Math Foundations. Please review the
information in this syllabus.
I am looking forward to a great year of learning with each one of you. I
understand that all students are entering my classroom with different
backgrounds in Mathematics. I will make every effort to help your child
be successful this year. It is extremely important to your childs Math
Education and to their grade that they do their classwork and class
openers on a daily basis. This is an extra Math course so homework
will be reserved for finishing any assignment not completed in the
allotted time during class. Students can arrange for extra help by
making an appointment with me before or after school, attending lunch
time help held on Wednesdays in Room E5, or they may attend the
after school Oasis program.
Course Content Description:
This course will focus on reinforcing the Mathematical standards from
previous grades that your student may have struggled with as well as
reinforcing the content being addressed in their Math 7 course.
Course content will include: basic math vocabulary; place value;
decimals; fractions; basic equations which can include decimals and
fractions; application-word problems; and more!
Students are expected to keep a Math Notebook which includes class
notes, packets, and handouts. Notebooks will be graded on neatness,
completeness, and order.
Student participation in classroom activities is a must.
Students who choose not to participate will face disciplinary
action. In addition to learning note-taking skills, students develop
their math vocabulary and problem solving skills while covering the
state standards.
All assignments are expected to be turned in on time! Late
work will only be accepted due to an excused absence from class.
Students who have an excused absence will have 5 days from the
day that they return to complete any missed assignments.

Grade Check

Grades are updated weekly and posted in class by student

ID number. If your student misses an assignment their
score will be recorded as a ZERO (indicated by a red box
on the website), until the assignment is made up and I
record it.
Parents may check current grades online using Aeries.
