FLIPPING THE MATH CLASS!

Good morning to all of you incoming 7th graders!!!!!
It is so nice to have you visit the teachers and the classrooms that you will be going to in the fall.  
I hope that you get a sneak peek into what to expect 
and that this will lessen your worry. 
So hang on and we are off to a great YEAR!
This is the blog that you will be visiting to check out your instructional videos.  The blog- the message- is chock-full of information and the videos are linked with Examples of all the content in MATH we will be covering in 7th grade.  Each video is around 3 minutes or less and there are generally 5 videos of instruction per lesson.  You will be keeping notes - write down everything I write on the videos- in your Graphic Organizer.  This is a condensed way to organize each chapter.  This Graphic Organizer is contained in your REFERENCE SPIRAL.  This reference spiral will contain all your notes, examples, and vocabulary that we cover on the concepts.  The best part of the reference spiral is that you can use this to help during testing!  Yes, you heard this correct!
Along with the reference spiral, 
you will be keeping all your daily class work- worksheets
- in a WORKING SPIRAL.
This all seems a bit complicated, but after a few days doing this, it will be routine.  
Oh, I forgot to tell you that I give retests.   You may retest until your best.  You will be doing some remedial work on the problems you got incorrect along with a parent signature before, but retests are available!  
These are the Tetrahedron Kites that we will be making at the end of your year! It is so much fun!
As Always in MATH,
Mrs M
