This is my blog. This is a great place for you to come and get a recap of what took place in class. Sometimes you will need to come here to access files that you will be using in class or at home for homework.
Objective: Get ready for the year.
- Find your seat for the first unit. Groups are arranged by colors. The colors are found by looking at the signs above the table groups.
- Get supplies. Somebody from you group will need to collect a "Squarebook" for each person in your group. Somebody different will need to collect a "Red Folder" for everybody in your group.
- Label your "Squarebook" and "Red Folder"
- Your Name
- Math 7
- Mr. Raymaakers M327
- Textbooks. There is a mini-textbook for each unit this year. You can take your book home with you, but you MUST remember to bring it to school each day. Use the "Red Folder" to keep the book safe. It will cost you $20, if you lose or significantly damage your book.
- Label your Textbook on the inside cover
- Your Name - Mr. Raymaakers
What you MUST do before next class:
- Complete the "Shapes and Design Unit Readiness" assessment. I will be collecting these next class.
- Bookmark my blog so that you can find it throughout the year.
- Add a comment to the bottom of my blog. In the comment, write one word that describes how you feel about math this year and explain why you feel this way.
What you CAN do before next class:
