If you went on the field trip on Friday (March 24th) you still are responsible for the work in class that day.  We worked on finishing the story problem solving worksheet that we started in class on Thursday.  The assignment is due for everyone on Monday.10 – Story Problem Solving (group)

7th Grade Students,

We will be taking a quiz this Wednesday, February 8th.  This will cover all of our learning about proportional relationships and equations.  It will also cover our SLOT learning about simplifying and solving equations using the distributive property.  Don’t forget to study!

Mr. Zimmer

Please don’t forget that an ongoing class assignment is to spend one hour on khanacademy.org practicing math skills every week.  This counts for a regular assignment grade in the grade book.  Get on Khan Academy and practice every week!

Mr. Zimmer

The bad news:  Many students performed rather poorly on today’s quiz.  As a result, many students’ grades dropped.

The good news:  You still have a chance to earn a good grade!  We’ll take the week after the break to figure out what went wrong on the quiz and how to fix it.  After a few days practice everyone in class will re-take the quiz (on Thursday or Friday), and you will get to keep the higher grade of the two.

If your grade is lower than you’d like right now, don’t get discouraged!  Work hard next week and you can still have a good grade before the end of the marking period.  Have a great break!

Don’t forget, you still need to log one hour this week!

When the Lions are losing so badly your turn the game off at halftime, turn on your computer and do Khan Academy!

Please remember that it is a class requirement that you log one hour of Khan Academy every week.  This counts for an assignment grade each week, so every marking period will have six Khan Academy grades.  If you complete your Khan Academy requirements each marking period it will substantially help your grade.  However, if you choose not to participate in Khan Academy then you will have a difficult time achieving the grade you want.  Practice, practice, practice!

Mr. Zimmer
