The class average on the solving equations test was 84%. Nice job 7th grade. These skills are so important and will be used for the rest of their school careers. We are going to continue studying algebra this chapter. In the next several months this type of math will be second nature. This chapter is on functions. We will be studying functions all of next year in 8th grade Algebra 1

Have a great week! ~ Rich Wuebbels
So, you talked throughout the lesson and now your math doesn't math.
Other Reminders:
Just remember Google Classroom is where everything is at. Your child's passwords are all on the first page of their planner so please feel free to copy those down and peek through their accounts often. Here is a video on how to navigate Google Classroom: https://youtu.be/qoOe3ir5iqQ
IXL grading is a little different from other assignments. A 90% "smart score" in IXL is equivalent to 100% in FastDirect. Anything over a 90% is worth up to one bonus point...they add up so I encourage students to try it (especially on the easier assignments).
Regular chapel can be viewed live on our Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3-agaQWl4BGu9bEAh1TbgQ, or on our Facebook page.
Each student's passwords are found in the student planner. Here you can find IXL, rocket math, email, and math textbook codes.
