Mr. LeSage lesage@fultonschools.org Room 232 404-843-7710



Math 6 continues the student’s study of mathematics. Using the new Georgia Performance Standards students will be investigating and building an understanding of number properties and relationships, rational numbers (fractions, decimals and percents) and operations using rational numbers, the surface areas and volumes of rectangular prisms and cylinders, informal investigation of cones, spheres, and square pyramids (to develop volume relationships), experimental and theoretical probabilities, and statistics,.

Rules:

- Follow directions the FIRST time.

- Student interruption of instructional time is prohibited.

- Keep body parts and objects to yourself.

- No harassment- including but not limited to profanity, inappropriate gestures, teasing, or bullying.

- Be in your seat and working when the bell rings.

- Treat everyone with respect, honesty and courtesy.


Consequences:

  1. Course Description


Math 6 in a continuation of the study of mathematics students began in elementary school. Using the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS), students will gain a deeper understanding of number properties, rational numbers and rational number operations. In addition, students will begin to investigate probability. In particular, they will examine the difference between experimental and theoretical probability. They will add to their knowledge of algebra through the study of proportional relationships. They will explore topics involving statistics and will begin their study of Geometry by working with surface area and volume of cylinders and rectangular solids and investigating the volume relationships of cones, spheres, and square pyramids. A great deal of our focus will include the MYP Areas of Interaction of Approaches to Learning and Homo faber.

  1. Aims and Objectives

Students will be able to

  • Develop a positive attitude toward the continued learning of mathematics.

  • Appreciate the usefulness and power of mathematics, and recognize its relationship with other disciplines and with everyday life

  • Gain knowledge and develop understanding of mathematical concepts (see list of topics below).

  • Develop mathematical skills and apply them.

  • Develop the ability to communicate mathematics with appropriate symbols and language.

  • Develop the ability to reflect upon and evaluate their work and the work of others.

  • Develop patience and persistence when solving problems.

  • Develop and apply information and communication technology skills in the study of mathematics.

  1. Topics

    1. Algebra Concepts

  • Factors, Greatest Common Factor, Least Common Multiple

  1. International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme Information

  1. Assessment

Students will be assessed in a number of ways using many different tools. These assessments may include informal discussions with the teacher and other students, completion of math problems, reporting the results of a group investigation and using other talents (drawing, signing or writing) to express or demonstrate their knowledge and understanding. In addition, students will be assessed periodically using assessments provided by Fulton County and practice CRCT questions to monitor their readiness to succeed on the CRCT. I will provide the supplies required to complete these assessments. Students must request and receive my permission to use any additional materials for their assessment. Student work will be graded using the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme Assessment Criteria which includes; (A) Knowledge and Understanding, (B) Application and Reasoning, (C) Communication and (D) Reflection and Evaluation. A copy of each has been included.

  1. Guiding Questions

Our guiding question for this year’s study of mathematics will be: “How do we know what we’ve learned?” The key component of the Connected Mathematics 2 resources that we use is guiding students to and through the discovery of important mathematical concepts. The methods used will lead to a deeper and longer lasting understanding for our students.

The list of units we will complete this year are; Prime Time, Bits and Pieces I, Bits and Pieces II, Bits and Pieces III, Filling and Wrapping, How Likely Is It?, Data About Us,



  1. Vertical Alignment

Each math unit will be coordinated with other academic disciplines in order for students to understand the connection between math and their other subjects. For example, the Data About Us unit will be closely coordinated with the Physical Education department to provide statistical information in preparation for the Ridgeview Olympic celebration.

7th Grade Mathematics

Mrs. Kari Lewis lewiskari@fultonschools.org Room # 224

The goal of Math 7 is to help students develop mathematical knowledge and skills along with an awareness of the connections between math and other disciplines. All students will be able to reason and communicate proficiently in math. They will have the ability to define and solve mathematical problems with reason, insight, inventiveness, and technical proficiency. Our overall objective is to foster a positive mathematical disposition and a love for learning!

Rewards

Tickets are given as a reward for on-task behavior, volunteering, working cooperatively with others, and earning 100% on warm-ups/homework.

On Mondays, students will be given the option of participating in the Weekly Winners drawing. The Weekly Winner for each class period will post his/her picture on the board and receive prizes. Winners may not participate in the drawing for the next week.


Consequences

A Punch Card System will be used for off-task or inappropriate behavior. If a student is off-task or misbehaving, they will receive a hole punch in their card. If a student receives two punches in a day, he/she will be asked to leave the classroom and their parents will be notified. Students who remain on task through out the week earn 2 tickets.



Policies and Procedures

Grading Scale

A 100-90

B 89-80

C 79-70


F 69 and below

Grading Policy

Homework 15%

Quizzes, Projects, Journals, Classwork 35%

Tests, Projects 50%



TOTAL 100%

Academic Integrity

Anyone who copies, cheats, plagiarizes or does not complete his/her own work on any assignment or test will receive a zero and will not be allowed to make up the grade. All work must be in the student’s own words. Likewise, any student who shares his/her work will also receive a zero.



Homework Policy

The purpose of homework is to reinforce concepts learned in class. It is designed to help students determine from day to day what they have learned and are able to do. Therefore, I do not grade homework for accuracy. I fully expect students to return to class having put forth their best effort to complete the assignment by showing all of their work.

In order master the numerous concepts, students will be required to complete 20-30 minutes of homework nightly. This includes studying vocabulary and class notes, as well as practicing problems.


Late Work Procedures

If a student is unable to finish their work they must see me and make arrangements to complete the assignment before or after school. Failure to do so will result in the student losing their break and/or working with the graduation coach through PASS to complete the assignment.



Absence Make-Up Procedures

Upon returning to school following an absence, it is the student’s responsibility to contact the teachers to request make-up work. Make-up work must be completed by the student within the time specified by the teacher. (The student will be given the same amount of time to make up the work as the student was absent unless other arrangements are mutually agreed upon.)



Recovery Policy

  1. Opportunities designed to allow students to recover from a low or failing cumulative grade will be allowed when all work required to date has been completed and the student has demonstrated a legitimate effort to meet all course requirements including attendance.

  2. Teachers will determine when and how students with extenuating circumstances may improve their grades.

Daily Supplies

  • Math textbook inside a three ring binder

  • Notebook paper

  • Pens and pencils

  • Dividers

Additional Materials

  • 4 inch by 6 inch index cards (give to teacher)

  • 1 box of Kleenex for class (give to teacher)
