Welcome to 7th Grade Math! We have a lot of learning to do this year. Please reference the school website for weekly assignments and activities. Students will need to spend additional time studying their class journals and notes in order to retain the information learned. Please see below for the topics that will be covered this year. These topics are listed in the order they are covered in our course. A variety of learning methods will be employed to ensure comprehension. Specifics can be found on the website for the upcoming week.

A comprehensive guide for grading, policies, and procedures can be referenced in the middle school student handbook. If you have any questions, please contact me at ssaaty@stmarys-temple.org.

I look forward to a great year!
