Contents in Brief
Students learn to understand and use the terms scaled
copy, to scale, scale factor, scale drawing and scale.
Students will make, interpret and reason about scale
drawings.
Students learn to understand and use the terms
proportional, constant of proportionality, and
proportional relationship. Students will use tables,
equations and graphs to develop these concepts.
Students will learn about circles, and how to find the
circumference and area of those circles. Students will
use the relationships of circumference, diameter, and
area of circle to find lengths.
Students will use ratios, scale factors, unit rates and
proportional relationships to solve multi step real world
problems that involve fractions and percentages.
Students will interpret signed numbers in context
together with their sum, products, differences and
percentages.
Students will solve, draw, write and interpret
equations.
Students will use the attributes of angles, triangles ad
prisms to find area, surface area, perimeter and
volume of rectangular prisms.
Students will learn and use the terms events, sample
space, outcome, chance experiment, probability,
simulation, random, sample, population and proportion.
 Students will represent sample spaces in tables and
tree diagrams.

Course Description: Illustrative Math and additional materials

**AP students will also use Illustrative Math and additional materials, and will also have extra units throughout
the year. The pacing for AP is faster and more rigorous.
Grading Procedures:
 Grades are figured using points and weighted according to JCPS guidelines

Student Expectations:
 Students are expected to use their agendas daily to record assignments and assessments. A daily
agenda will be posted on the board.
 Students are expected to attend class regularly, be on time and be prepared (with pencils, pens,
notebook, textbook, and homework).
 Homework can be expected on a regular basis. Homework is essential for student practice.
Students must show their work on each problem in order to receive credit. An assignment that only
has answers on it will not be accepted. All assignments can be found on my class website, as well as
your child’s agenda.
 Absent students are responsible for making up all missed class work and homework assignments.
Instead of asking for missed assignments in class, students can visit my class website. Extra help is
 available and encouraged. I am able to help students during class, as well as outside of class by
appointment. Students should be concerned about their progress on a daily basis, not just at the
end of the grading period.
 Group grade policy: If students are allowed to choose their group or partner, each person in the
group will receive the same grade for the assignment/assessment.
 Students may not receive more than 2 U’s in one subject area and still pass that subject.
