The major emphasis of Math is to allow the students to explore math concepts using various
methods. By determining appropriate strategies they will then be able to explain not only how this works
but why. Through this approach we hope to give the students the knowledge and confidence to go out and
solve problems outside of the classroom.

Scientific Calculator

Evaluation
 Students will be assessed on their understanding on each outcome in the Math 7 curriculum
 There will be Unit Exams at the end of each unit, these will be kept by the teacher.
 There will also be a Final Exam covering all material learned over the year.

HONOUR ROLL: Combination of 3’s and 4’s in 4 core and one option (No more than two 3’s; no 1’s or 2’s) – June Report
HONOUR ROLL WITH DISTINCTION: 4’s in all subject areas
Expectations of Students
- Come to class ON TIME
- Be attentive during class
- Use time effectively when assignments are given
- Respect others and their property
- It is your responsibility to catch up on missed work and hand it in on the date set by the
teacher. There will be a homework file located in the classroom with extra copies of all
handouts and assignments.
- NO JUNK food or drinks in class (Healthy snacks and water is acceptable) PLEASE clean
up after yourself.
Late Assignment Policy
-Assignments are due at the beginning of class
o PLEASE get your assignments in on time!!!
o Assignments will be expected to be finished, one day extensions will be given to complete
assignments, with a discussion with the teacher
o If the assignment has not been complete, student will be expected to complete the
assignment during recess time.
 Classwork will all be posted on the Cremona School website daily (Student – Homework)
 Progress reports will be sent home once a month
Parent Portal
This can be accessed by parents to see an up to date progress report.
Rewrites
-You may be given a quiz on a daily basis on the work you were assigned the day before, this is
called a homework quiz.
NO rewrites will be given for Exams. If a student is absent from an exam they must write the exam on
the first day they return to class. Special circumstances may be taken into consideration if the student
communicates the situation with the teacher prior to the exam date.
Failing quiz / test marks and sloppy assignment work maybe returned to the student for corrections
to improve their mastery of the material.
I encourage students to redo any work they want, we can adjust marks if mastery of skills has been
proven.
 Extra help is available by request during recess, lunch, before and after school for any students
with questions or difficulties. Extra help is most beneficial if the student writes down specific
questions or concepts that they are struggling with and brings them to the session
DAILY CLASS WORK
It is important that you remain caught up in class, one class leads into the next. If you are
missing you can get missed assignments off of the website.
