This course is designed to go through all of the 7th Grade Common Core Math Standards in a year. To make it easier on parents, I have divided the course into 5 sections. Three sections will take place starting August 31st to November 13th and the last two sections will take place from January 11th to March 19th. 

In this full year class, students will learn the following:

Ratios and Proportional Relationships
---Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems.

The Number System
---Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers.

Expressions and Equations
---Use properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions.
---Solve real-life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations.

Geometry
---Draw, construct, and describe geometrical figures and describe the relationships between them.
---Solve real-life and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, surface area, and volume.

Statistics and Probability
---Use random sampling to draw inferences about a population.
---Draw informal comparative inferences about a population.
---Draw informal comparative inferences about two populations.
---Investigate chance processes and develop, use, and evaluate probability models.

Here is the Tentative Schedule for section 4:
Jan. 11- Drawing 3D Figures (1)
13- Drawing 3D Figures (2)
15- Surface Area (SA) of Prisms
18- SA of Cylinders
20- SA of Pyramids
22- SA of Cones
25- SA of Composite Solids
27- Review & Quiz
29- Volume (V) of Prisms
Feb 1- V of cylinders
3- V of Pyramids
5- V of Cones
8- V of Composite Solids
10- SA & V of Similar Solids
12- Review and Quiz 



In each class, 1 sheet of homework will be assigned. We will review the homework the first 10-15 minutes of class with an open discussion. We will then move into the new topic where I will have a lecture over the new material. Students are welcome to ask questions throughout the lesson by raising their hand. Some classes will have games that we will play to reinforce what we have learned. There will be two quizzes--one on January 27th and the other on February 12th. I will grade these so that you can see the progress that your child is making.
