To support a childs progress in math, parents can I. A SK YOUR - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

MATH RESOURCES

• Mr. Geyer– 8th grade Math
• Ms. Comella- 6th grade Math

To support a child’s progress in math, parents can…

• I. ASK YOUR CHILDREN QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR

CURRENT MATH TOPIC(S) OF STUDY

฀ What are you learning about in math class? ฀ Show me a problem that you solved today. ฀ How did you receive your final answer? Re-do that

problem for me on another sheet of paper.

฀ What does that mean? ฀ How can you check that your answer is correct? ฀ What resources do you have to prepare for your

assessment?

Sample Questions/Prompts:

• II. MONITOR YOUR CHILD’S MATH GRADE

฀ Pupilpath:

⚫ Pupilpath is the HCMS online

gradebook which is updated weekly by teachers.

⚫ https://pupilpath.skedula.com/

฀ Agendas:

⚫ Students should be writing their

homework for each content area every day in their agendas. Check your child’s agenda to monitor their homework assignments on a daily basis.

• III. UTILIZE FREE, ADDITIONAL RESOURCES

FOR EXTRA PRACTICE IN MATH

฀ Learnzillion: In the search bar on the

top of the page, type in your child’s math topic and grade or the standard being addressed. (Example: “Linear Equations grade 8”)

⚫ https://learnzillion.com/p/

฀ Khan Academy: Have your child

create a “learner” account. Then, in the search bar on the top of the page, type in your child’s math topic and grade or the standard being addressed.

BY THE END OF 7TH GRADE, STUDENTS NEED

TO BE ABLE TO...

• Performing operations with rational numbers

○ addition ○ subtraction ○ multiplication ○ division

• Simplifying expressions
• Creating and solving multi-step equations
• Calculating the unit rate and using it to make predictions
• Calculating percents and using them to solve real life problems

○ markups/markdowns ○ percent increase/decrease ○ percent error ○ simple interest

shapes

BY THE END OF 8TH GRADE, STUDENTS NEED

TO BE ABLE TO...

• Apply operations using Scientific Notation
• Solving multi-step one variable equations with variable terms on both

sides

• Solving systems of equations (two variable equations)

○ Using substitution ○ Graphically

• Apply rotation, reflection, translation and dilation rules to

two-dimensional shape on a graph ○ Sequences (more than one transformation to one two-dimensional shape)

• Angle Relationships
• Solving real-world problems using volume
• Identifying slope and y-intercept in a function

○ Graphically (counting) ○ Slope formula and substitution

Multiple Entry Points for Special Education

Students with IEPs (Individualized Education Programs) receive:

Accommodations- changes in the learning environment that allow all students to learn the same content as their peers. Modifi fications- changes in what students are expected to learn and demonstrate. Annual Goals- a list of realistic and measurable academic and functional skills students can achieve by the end of the year. Least restrictive environment- taught in the same setting as students without IEPs, as much as possible, with supports and services needed to succeed. Personalized attention to their management needs.
