Attention Parents/Guardians:

Please visit your child's Powerschool Portal to view all upcoming due dates for assessments, projects and homework.

Course Description:

In this class, students will build on strengthening their mathematical foundation. We will
continue to build on skills previously learned as well as introducing new concepts which include:

• performing fraction and decimal operations
• writing/interpreting/using expressions, equations and inequalities
• ratio concepts and ratio reasoning
• solving problems involving area, surface area and volume

The strategy employed in class is a balanced approach of instruction while allowing
abstract thought, reasoning and inquiry, which will help with internalizing concepts with a greater depth of understanding.

GRADING POLICY (as per district):

50% summative

40% formative

10% individual practices

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me via email (dsmith@hamilton.k12.nj.us) which can also be found on the Reynolds homepage under the "our teachers" tab.  

Let's make this a FABULOUS year !!
