Course Syllabus
7th Grade Math—Mrs. Conklin
2015-2016 East Union Middle School
Course Description:
The class includes skills and concepts from the grade 7 Common Core State Standards. Individual teachers will address all objectives which will prepare students to be successful on the North Carolina End of Grade Tests.
Text: Glencoe Mathematics & Carnegie Learning
All students will have access to a hard copy (when needed) while in school and an electronic copy (when needed) while at home.
Evaluations:
Progress reports will be given halfway through each six weeks and a report card at the end of each six weeks. Progress reports and report cards should be signed and returned on the following day they are issued.
Requirements:
Students are expected to do the work as it is assigned. Students who fail to keep up with the work or have low grades will be held in from activity period to complete/re-do assignments. All work is expected to have the student’s name on it. No ink will be allowed in math. Pencils, homework, and notes are to be brought to class daily. Students will not be allowed to return to lockers to retrieve work. I know we all forget things from time to time, but I find it rude to interrupt another teacher by sending children back to lockers.
Students should write down their homework daily in their agenda. Please check to see if your child is doing their homework; it is necessary for students to practice outside of the classroom.
Behavioral Expectations:
Be respectful: be a good listener, keep your body and other objects to yourself, and respond appropriately to others.
Be responsible: be on time, take care of school property, complete assigned tasks, and be in the right place and the right time.
Be prepared: bring all materials to class, bring completed homework to class, and have a positive learner’s attitude.
Helpful Hints:
Parents:
Check student’s agenda daily.
Look for a progress report or report card every three weeks. You also have access to your child's grades online.
Try not to schedule appointments where students continue to miss the same class.
Write in the agenda, e-mail, or call me if you are concerned about your child’s progress.
Students:
Take notes daily.
Keep up with assignments—use your agenda!
Turn in work on time.
Focus and pay attention.
Get to class on time.
Supply List:
Pencils, loose notebook paper, “Cow” composition notebook, headphones (Dollar Tree cheap ones are PERFECT!)
Classroom Wish List:
Kleenex, pencils, loose notebook paper, colored pencils, sticky notes, composition notebooks
**Students may want a calculator at home for homework but will not need one. If you feel one is necessary, a calculator that costs less than $10.00 will be fine. The school provides calculators for the students to use at school. You are NOT required to purchase one!!
