Proportional Reasoning and 7th grade!

Welcome to 7th grade math!  I have already seen great things as we continue to practice our proportional thinking in tables, graphs, and equations.

The first half of the module is all about ways we represent proportional relationships and then we will use them (scale drawings) and add fractions to our proportional thinking in the second half of the module.

Email questions to me and I look forward to a great year!

Module 2 Begins!

Our first big unit/module of the year is complete, and it is time to talk about positive and negative numbers.  A parent guide with the main topics can be found here.  Students will practice adding and subtracting positive and negative numbers with tiles and number lines and then move on to multiplication/division.  We will continue working with whole numbers, decimals and fractions.  If you are looking for more math fact practice, frontrowed.com is a great place to get extra practice.

Class codes:
1st: silven
2nd: silvez
3rd: silve6
5th: silvec

We have now finished the first half of our first module!  You all are quite the proportional thinkers- interpreting graphs, tables, and word problems using your proportional reasoning.  As we continue to add to our knowledge, we will look at proportional relationships with fractional parts and how we can use proportional thinking to solve many challenging problems.

Welcome 7th graders!  I'm so excited to see all of you and work with you this year in math.  We are getting started with proportional relationships (extending your ratio knowledge from 6th grade math).  Then we have percentages, angles and algebra, probability, and much more throughout the year.
