Class Experience

This 10 week class will cover the major topics for 7th grade math semester 1.  

My class structure will be to introduce 7th grade math semester 1 main content through instruction, teacher guided examples, and give the students time to practice with teacher guided correction if needed.  I will pause for questions periodically throughout the class. The only prior knowledge will be basic mental math operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.  If the student cannot do this, they will need a calculator and need to know how to compute basic calculations on it.  I will send a worksheet prior to class that will need to be printed.  Also, I will attach a homework sheet for extra practice- this is completely optional.  As well, I will give an answer key for the parents to check and correct student work.  This will not be turned in or graded, this is optional and only for the student to have extra practice.

Week 1- the number system- whole, real, rational/irrational, integers and the number line
Week 2- fractions, decimals
Week 3- discounts, percents, percent increase and decrease, and unit rate
Week 4- scale drawings, proportions
Week 5-interest, tax, and tips
Week 6- slope, proportional relationships
Week 7- properties of operations, expressions 
Week 8- equations
Week 9- inequalities
Week 10- Review all nine weeks. 

Depending on student abilities, we may not stay on course exactly each week, but all topics will be covered.

Learning Goals

Students will be to able solve basic problems within the first semester of 7th grade math.

Teacher expertise and credentials

Hello, I have taught for 15 years.  I have a diverse teaching history. I have taught elementary, middle and high school.  I have taught regular, special and gifted education.  I have taught math, English, social studies, family and consumer science (cooking, sewing, child development, and personal finance), special education and gifted education.  Through Outschool, I plan to teach middle school math.  I believe that every student is able to and wants to learn, but they need to appropriate resources to be successful.  I love to travel and enjoying sitting at the beach.  Maybe someday I'll teach class from the beach!
