Unit 2: Introducing Proportional Relationships

In this unit, students begin to explore what it means for two quantities to be proportional. They build conceptual understanding of proportional relationships across tables, equations, and graphs, and distinguish proportional from nonproportional relationships.

Resources available in the beyond the classroom section.

Students will be focusing on the routines of our 7th grade math classroom and developing techniques to be successful using our new resource called ALEKS.

Geography

Welcome to 7th Grade World Geography!

We are beginning the year with some basic geographic tools including the 5 Themes of Geography and Cartography. I am anticipating having our first unit test towards the end of the last week of September. Students will receive a study guide for the test at least one week before the test so they will have time to prepare and study. Our first unit's essential question is: How can the use of geographic tools help use view the world in new ways?

As always, please reach out via email if you have any questions or concerns.

Outside Activities:

Looking for something to do outside of class? Students have a number of activities on Schoology that focus on our social studies vocabulary and work on their map skills. Students also have the Seterra App on their iPads that has a bunch of different interactive map games and activities they can work on too. You can also watch/read the news with your student and discuss things that are going on in the world.
