CRUNCH TIME!  I must admit, I miss seeing your faces every day!  I can’t believe we are moving into the full year Math review.  The set up of our regular personalized Math program is awesome because if you had trouble with some of these grade 7 outcomes, we will be able to look at them together as you move through the progressions next year in grade 8. You won’t fall behind or “miss” anything! 

 Last week you were given the Khan Academy site to use as a resource for a review.  It is perfect for a review of grade 6, test of grade 7 and a tiny taste of grade 8 outcomes for New Brunswick.  How many points did you get? Keep going with that and below you will find ANOTHER resource that you can also use to continue your review.

 NetMath:  https://activities.scolab.com/ready-set-math-confirmed/#!/curriculum/NBRVO104/grade/grade-7-(nb)/subject/all-subjects

 Once you follow the above link, make sure that you have New Brunswick selected as your province and select Grade 7 (NB).  It seems to always want to default to Quebec and Grade 3.  I can’t figure out a way to avoid that with the link.  This site is broken down by the same four strands the NB Curriculum is: Numbers, Patterns & Relations, Shape & Space, and Statistics & Probability.  Check the PDF below to see this note with the image of the web site.

You are also encouraged to send some of your work to us for feedback. I would love to see how you are doing with your Math. Take a picture of your work, send it, and I’ll gladly look it over and offer some feedback.

I hope you are all doing well and looking after each other. 

Take care and keep 6 feet apart!

Week 7!  Here we go, it’s getting down to the crunch now!  If we were in the classroom we would be gearing up to write the District Assessment!  How crazy is that!  In the coming weeks we will be providing you with several sites and learning opportunities to review all curriculum outcomes for grade 7.  But for this week, Geometry! 

This progression covers all of the Shape and Space outcomes for grade 7.  Some people do struggle with Geometry, trying to visualize and configure different shapes and spaces, while others LOVE this kind of Math!  Remember you can always fire me off an email and I will help you through it the best way I can! (email/phone/video/picture/Morse code)

Follow this link:  https://courseware.cemc.uwaterloo.ca/27 , (University of Waterloo – Grade 7 & 8 Mathematics). On the left-hand side there will be three different units. We will look at certain lessons in each of these.  They should be completed in this order:

                 Unit –             Bisectors & Properties of Shapes– lessons 1-10

                                      Area, Volume & Angles– lessons 1, 2, 4, 6 and 9

                                      Transformations of Shapes – lessons 1 – 6

 These lessons review the grade 6 outcomes then transition nicely into the grade 7 outcomes.  Complete the lesson videos, exercises and practice questions at your own pace. Please reach out if you need any clarification.  This site works best if used on the Google Chrome web browser. If you prefer to print this note the PDF file is attached below. The STEAM Ideas for this week from the District are also attached as they also offer some numeracy activities..

 Here are some additional resources that you may use for Geometry: 

• Braingenie – there is a progression already set up for more practice with Geometry. 

• The “Word Problems” have a whole section for Geometry.  Give them a shot! 

• http://www.learnalberta.ca/content/mejhm/index.html?l=0&ID1=AB.MATH.JR.SHAP&ID2=AB.MATH.JR.SHAP.CIRC&lesson=html/object_interactives/circles/use_it.html
  • Cirlces
  • Area & Perimeter
  • Triangles
  • Similiarity and Congruence
  • Transformations
  • Shape Classification 

• https://www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-seventh-grade-math/cc-7th-geometry 

• Continue using DreamBox 

I would love to see how you are doing with your Math. Take a picture of your work, send it, and I’ll gladly look it over and offer some feedback.

 I hope you are all doing well and looking after each other. 

Take care and remember, sneeze into your elbows!!

Wow!  It’s May already!  I hope you are taking advantage of some of these Home Learning Opportunities to help sharpen and solidify your awesome Math skills. 

 The next progression we will look at together will be “Statistics and Probability”.  This one can be pretty fun and hands on if you want it to be!  The courseware below covers all applicable outcomes from the Grade 7 curriculum and reviews a lot from previous years. I have also included a few additional resources you can use to help along the way and for extra practice. Remember you can always fire me off an email and I will help you through it the best way I can! (email/phone/video/pictures)

Follow this link:  https://courseware.cemc.uwaterloo.ca/27 , (University of Waterloo – Grade 7 & 8 Mathematics). On the left-hand side there will be three different units. We will look at certain lessons in each of these units  They should be completed in this order: 

                        Data Collection and Graphs – lessons 1-5

                         Data Analysis – lessons 1 and 4 only

                         Probability – lessons 1 – 8

 These lessons start with the basics, give a good background overview and then move into the different strategies and experiments.  Complete the lesson videos, exercises and practice questions at your own pace and please reach out if you would like more clarification on something.  This site works best if used on the Google Chrome web browser.

 Go at your OWN PACE and don’t rush or become overwhelmed.  Some of this will be a review from Grade 6 and some of it may be new.  If you need dice or cards to do an experiment, you can always go online and find an interactive deck, spinner or die.  Try the links attached below for some interactive manipulatives:  

Remember, if you get stuck or have no idea how to answer a question, drop me a line and I will do everything I can to help you through it. 

 There are some additional resources on the link below that you may also use for Statistics and Probability:

 Continue using DreamBox and Brain Genie for Math practice.

  Remember reach out to me if you are struggling in any way.  

 I hope you are all doing well and that you are looking after each other. 

Take care and remember to keep those paws washed!!

Home Learning 2020

Grade 7 Math- French Immersion

Week 3

 Another week, another Math Home Learning opportunity!  Remember, do what you can do and DON’T STRESS OVER IT!  These are only opportunities/suggestions for you to work on while we are away from our regular Math class.  There is no formal assessment but I am always available (phone, email, video) to give some help and guidance.

 This week I put together some Math Word Problems from all different stages of the curriculum.  They are broken down by curriculum strand and have hints in italics after each question.  DO NOT THINK YOU HAVE TO DO ALL OF THESE! I wanted to have a variety of questions available for the various levels we are all at in our Math learning.  So, I repeat, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO EVERY QUESTION…unless you want to.   I have also included an answer sheet and answer key for these problems so that you can keep track of your questions and check your answers.  

 Remember to follow CUBES (attached) and read each question carefully!

Math Games – This site is good for practice of your algebra skills! Especially when it comes to creating and solving equations and expressions.  You should look and play around with this site to have fun with some of your mad Math skills. No username or passwords are needed.  There is also an option to print worksheets and the option to practice only the concepts you need the practice with. 

 https://ab.mathgames.com/algebra

Remember, contact me at ANYTIME and do what YOU can do at YOUR own pace.  Continue with the Waterloo site for Algebra and give some of those word problems a T-R-Y!  Braingenie is still an option too.

 Have a great week! Miss seeing your faces!
