  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 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 • Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to computation with rational numbers. • Expressions and Equations • Use properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions. • Solve real life mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations. • Ratios and Proportional Relationships • Analyze proportional relationships. • Use these relationships to solve real world problems.

  5. Geometry • Draw, construct, and describe geometrical figures. • Describe the relationships between geometrical figures. • Solve real life problems using angles, area, surface area, and volume. • Statistics and Probability • Use random sampling to draw inferences about a population. • Draw informal comparative inferences about two populations. • Investigate chance and develop probability models.

  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. Communicate Mathematically

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

  9. Our Textbook

  10. Homework • Yes, they really do have it everyday. • It won’t all be in the book. • 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. 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)

  12. Web Site • Syllabus • Announcements about upcoming quizzes, tests, projects • Assignments • Copies of homework (if a handout) • Pictures of our active learning

  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.

  15. Thank You for Coming Tonight!
