2018 – 2019
Course Syllabus

Teacher: Mrs. Herma Ynah Watkins Email: hwatkins@lambertschool.net

Course Length: Two (2) Semesters Class Period: 2
Website: ynahwatkins.weebly.com Free Time: 1

Course Description: Math 7 is designed to give the students the fundamental skills necessary to succeed in Pre- Algebra course taken the
following year. Instructional time will focus on four critical areas:
1) Developing understanding of and applying proportional relationships
2) Developing understanding of operations with rational numbers and working with expressions and linear equations
3) Solving Problems involving scale drawings and informal geometric constructions, and working with two- and three- dimensional shapes to
solve problems involving area, surface area, and volume
4) Drawing inferences about populations based on samples

Existing Objectives:
The main purpose of this class is to make sure that each students will learn the Montana State Standards. This class will provide
whatever time or extra help needed to learn all the following standards:
 Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
 Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
 Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
 Model with mathematics.
 Use appropriate tools strategically.
 Attend precision.
 Look for and make use of structure.
 Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

 GRADING STANDARD: The grades in this course will be weighted based on the following required components:
Midterm and Quarter
Final Grade
Grade
PRACTICE SET/ EXTRA PRACTICE 20 % 15 %
QUIZZES & TEST 80 % 70 %
FINAL EXAM & PROJECT 15 %

 GRADING SCALE
A = 90-100% B = 89-80% C = 79-70% D = 69-60% F=59% or below

 PRACTICE SET/ EXTRA PRACTICE: The best way to learn Math is by doing. Although topic may be clear in the class,
you will have difficulties when examination time comes if you do not do your practice set. You will be given time to do the practice in
the class. No credit is given for practice set with answer only. The student must show their complete solution. Students with
EXCUSED absence will be expected to turn in the practice set upon return, with full credit

 QUIZ/ TEST: Quizzes will be given on a regular basis. Quizzes may or may not be announced, so be prepared by asking
questions if you do not understand something. You must show all your work on quizzes to receive full credit.
Tests will be cumulative in nature so be sure that you keep reviewing prior topics that have been covered. Tests will be announced
at least two days prior to the day that it is given. You will receive review questions prior to each test in order to prepare you for the
test. You will be expected to complete these problems and ask any questions prior to the test. Failure means you have to retake the
quiz or test.

 EXTRA REQUIREMENTS: Students are required to have a Math binder and to keep all notes, quizzes, corrected practice set
and test will be filed together in Chronological Order. This will serve as project in every term to be pass a week before end of each
Semester. Notes will be checked during class or before/ after school hours.

 ATTENDANCE: Attendance is expected because this is for the most part a lecture class. Excessive absence will likely lead
to a poor academic performance. Late student will not be tolerated. Poor attendance is the greatest detriment to success in this
class. If the student missed a class, student will be responsible for any announcement made or material covered.
 Daily Classroom Procedures

When You First Enter the

Before Entering the Classroom When You Leave the Classroom
Classroom

Use the restroom. Students will not be
allowed to use the restroom while the
lesson is being given (unless there is
an emergency).
Make sure you have your textbook,
binder, pencil, calculator, and
completed practice set.
Turn in your practice set and
cellphone.
Sit in your assigned seat.
Place everything but the instructional
materials on the floor.
Begin "warm up" problems as part of
the next practice set while attendance
is being taken.
When You Leave the Classroom:
Make sure you have a copy of the
practice set.
Leave your desk area clean.
Return any supplies that you used
to the teacher.

 MATERIALS NEEDED:
Pencils with erasers (NO Ball pen) 3-Ring Binder with lined and graph papers Calculator

 COURTESY and DISHONESTY: A high degree of civility is expected in this class. Students are expected to be respectful of
all members of the class. PLEASE, stay in your seat, no cell phones, no listening to I-Pods, no sudden departures and no incidental
chit- chat. You may not answer the phone or initiate a call in the classroom during class time. Cheating of any sort will be addressed
as described in the student hand book at a minimum. Most instances of academic dishonesty will result in a failure for the entire
class.

 STUDENT DISABILITIES: Student with special needs should inform the teacher within the first week of the class to ensure that
their needs are met in a timely manner. It is the student’s responsibility to inform the teacher of his/ her needs and to provide.

 MISCELLANY: A student who misses an exam will make up the exam before the next major exam; a grade of zero (0) will
be entered if not made up by that time. Late practice set will not be accepted after the graded version is returned.

 Finally, please consider your ownership of this class. You can master this material. You can come to class, ask questions, and be
prepared to learn new material. You can do the practice set in a timely manner. You can come to test days fully prepared to show
the awesome amount you have learned. You can succeed in this class, and continue the habits you learn in this class to ensure
your success in all those that follow. Please plan to…
