Course Outline Math 7

Grade 7 Math
Teacher: Miss Doolaar
Course Description
The yearlong plan for the grade 7 math program is set up so it can
foster the students learning, understanding and appreciation for math and
its components. The students will be taught using a variety of methods.
These include: mini lessons, workshop, visual cues, manipulatives, small
group work, whole class activities, as well as independent work. My goal is
to present the concepts in a manner that each student is able to understand
and gain the confidence to develop his/her mathematic literacy.
This course outline is designed to provide parents and students with
information that will help them understand the expectations and direction we
will take this year. Please call or email if you have any questions or concerns
at any time throughout the year. I am looking forward to working with the
students of Our Lady of the Snows!

after the 4 days, the assignment will be marked NHI until handed in. Parents will be called.

own time. The homework site will be updated with all important material and can be

Math Website: Students will be able to access the math website

crcsjhmath.weebly.com to help them with their studies. On this website, students will be
able to find the notes and activities that have been covered in class. There will also be
links to further practice to help students solidify their understanding of the concepts
being covered in class. Looking to the website is a great way to prepare for any
upcoming assessment.
UNIT OUTCOMES: At the beginning of each unit, the students will be getting a
copy of the concepts they will be learning for that unit as well these will be accessible
online on the math website. Students should be keeping track of their progress and
taking ownership of their own learning seeking help when needed.
HOMEWORK: Students will be completing most of their math practice at school as

they are given class time to work on tasks and complete their practice. Should they not
use their time wisely it will be expected that it will be completed at home. Students will
be expected to take their math journals home to complete the reflection questions
relating to that days tasks. There will be occasional assignments sent home in order for
students to review previous concepts that have been covered in class throughout the
year.
MATH HELP:
I will be offering math help whenever students are in need. Students

should take the initiative to book a time that works for them to come in for extra help
whether it be before school, at lunch or after school.
