  1. Welcome to Math Mrs. Manning Room 201

  2. Judy Manning • Bachelor of Science Northern Kentucky University Degrees: Mathematics and Psychology • Masters of Education Northern Kentucky University Concentration: Mathematics • 26 years of teaching experience at Highlands Middle School

  3. 7th Grade Advanced Math • New Common Core Standards • What does that mean for my child? Fewer concepts More in-depth More rigorous Mastery learning Level Playing Field

  4. The Common Core Standards • The Number System • Rational and Irrational • Real • Expressions and Equations • Work with radicals and Integer Exponents • Proportional Relationships/Linear Equations • Analyze and solve linear equations and • Functions • Define, evaluate, and compare functions • Use functions to model the relationships between quantities

  5. Geometry • Understand congruence and similarity • Understand and apply the Pythagorean Theorem • Volume of cylinders, cones, and spheres • Statistics and Probability • Investigate patterns of association in bivariate data.

  6. Develop the following Mathematical Practices • 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 to precision. • Look for and make use of structure. • Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

  7. Our Textbook

  8. Teaching Environment • Active • Hands-On • Discovery • Collaborative • Develops Critical Thinking • Rigorous

  9. Communicate Mathematically

  10. Homework • Yes, they really do have it everyday. • There are a few rare exceptions. • When in doubt, check the website. • We practice to solidify our skills, determine what we still need to work on, and to develop mastery. • Late work will be completed in Saturday School.

  11. Web Site(www.fortthomas.kyschools.us) • Syllabus • Announcements about upcoming quizzes, tests, projects • Assignments • Copies of homework (if a handout)

  12. Grading • Point System • Class work (5-25 pts) • Homework (5 – 25 pts) • Quizzes ( about 50 pts) • Tests (100- 150 pts) • Projects (50 – 100 pts) • Open Responses (25-50 pts)

  13. Contact Information • Phone: 815-2524 • E-mail: Judy.Manning@fortthomas.kyschools.us • Contact information also on website • Contact me any time if you have a question or concern.

  14. What can you do to help your childbe successful in math this year? • Encourage them to ask questions if they don’t understand or if they are confused. • Monitor homework completion. • Touch base with your child frequently to know when they should be studying for quizzes and tests, etc. • Let me know immediately if there is any kind of issue or concern.
