Students, welcome to math. I teach 7th grade math and accelerated math. Learning is done by repetition. Do your homework and reviews daily.
Parents, please keep up with the daily work. If you are interested, your child will be interested.
Big Ideas Math We will use a text from the Big Ideas Math group of text. Students were given instructions on how to log into the Big ideas Math website. The student has full access to the text online. If students are logged into the site, the class can be done online. Lots of college classes are done this way. Instructions on logging in are on my letter to parents that you need to download. If this is the students first time logging in...click on new to big ideas math. Username will either be students name or email address depending on how it is set up. A person can go into Big Ideas Math without a username and password. They will not have access to all of the site but they will have access to the text. Go to www.bigideasmath.com , click on students, go down to easy access home edition click on Go, click on red Accelerated book with space shuttle on cover, go to chapter and section of interest. Videos are also available from Big ideas math. Go to www.bigideasmathvideos.com, go to common core 2014, go to red accelerated book with space shuttle on the cover, go to chapter and section of interest. Apps are also available for Big Ideas math. Kids like to stay on phones and computers. I have gone to the Big Ideas sites on my phone and looked at the text, watched videos and downloaded free apps for my phone. If I can do this , kids can do it. I encourage all parents to make their kids watch all of the big ideas math videos for chapters 1 thru 10. --------------------------------------------- We will begin using the Accelerated Math program. It is similar to the Accelerated Reader. More info to follow. Link for AM when using chrome books https://hosted161.renlearn.com/37974/ There are various websites to help students with math at any level. Some examples are: Coolmath.com Kahnacadamy.com Mathantics.com Students can use Prodigy.com Go to www.ProdigyGame.com/play enter new student Class code J4HNLJ Students/parents can also google the subject that we are covering for a wide variety of others sources. For example......using Google....search Integers addition and subtraction........this will give some very good videos. The text book is also available. Access to the text is explained in my letter that can be downloaded and was passed out on the first day. Math is continuously building. Once a topic is covered and gone over in class, the student is expected to know that topic going forward. Students are expected to: 1....Do the homework before they come to class 2....Follow the review of homework in class 3....Make any changes in their workbooks while we are going over homework 4.....Maintain personal discipline to keep their own focus and not distract others 5.....Stay on task 6. Stay silent until given permission to speak.
