Math Made Easy! 7th Grade Basics Semester 2

This 16 week class will cover the major topics for 7th grade math semester 2.  Semester 1 was taught last semester but is not a requirement for this class. The first two classes will be a review where they can become aware of the material from last semester if they don't know it.

My class structure will be to introduce 7th grade math semester 2 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.  Occasionally I will attach a homework sheet for extra practice or a sheet to use during class- this is completely optional.  As well, I will give an answer key for the optional homework for 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.
