Welcome

A little about the class
Seventh grade math will be an exciting time in your math career. Together we will explore the other side of the number line: negative numbers! We will look for patterns and evaluate expressions. About halfway through the year we will interpret and graph linear relationships, solve equations, and identify proportions. We will find the ever mysterious "x". Towards the end of the year we will dive into data sets and play around with probability and statistics. Finally, we will pay a visit to our friend, pi, and explore the curvaceous surfaces of cylinders and spheres. Click on the links below to learn more.
