Welcome to 7th Grade Mathematics! My name is Mr. Schmidt, and I am very excited to join the Saint Aidan Family. I am looking forward to a very successful school year!

The 7th grade math curriculum focuses on the following big ideas:
•    reviewing the number system
•    working with rational numbers, ratios, and proportional relationships
•    introducing and applying expressions, equations, and inequalities in real-world situations
•    developing geometric understandings by working with scale drawings and constructions, and working with circumference, area, volume, and related measures
•    using statistics and probability to represent, summarize, and describe real-world scenarios

Please bring the following supplies with you to class every day:
•    pen and pencil
•    binder with loose leaf
•    scientific calculator (TI-30 XIIS)
•    ruler
•    charged iPad
 

Google Classroom

Google Classroom will be used to post all class notes, homework assignments, and announcements. Please join your classroom with these codes:
•    7-1 Math: tswphai
•    7-2 Math: r6wf2q5
