Welcome to 7th grade
math!Mrs. Paluch
The Teacher…. Capri Paluch 13th year at MSN Teach 6th grade Math and 7th grade
Math Easiest way to reach me during the
day is email!
When am I available to help?
Before school (by appointment) After school (by appointment) Lunch Homeroom During class!!
The Seventh Grade Math Curriculum will focus on 8 Mathematical Practices!
1. Make sense of problems and persevere
in solving them When presented with a problem, I can
make a plan, carry out my plan, and evaluate its success.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others
4. Model with mathematics
I can recognize math in everyday life and use math I know to solve everyday problems.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically
I know HOW to use math tools. I know WHEN to use math tools. I can reason: “Did the tool I used give me
an answer that makes sense?”
6. Attend to precision
7. Look for and make use of structure
I can see and understand how numbers and spaces are organized and put together as parts and wholes.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated
reasoning I can notice when calculations are
repeated. Then, I can find more efficient methods and short cuts.

The Math Binder…. Students are responsible for keeping
an organized math binder to record all classroom notes and activities. This binder should have two sections: 1. Notes 2. Homework/Practice
The Homework…. Homework will typically be assigned daily. Each
homework assignment will be worth 5 points.
The homework will be posted on my website: You can locate my website through MSN’s staff
directory. www.lz95.org/msn
The purpose of each homework assignment will be to review what was taught in class.
