2005-2006 My name is Mark Beymer
and I will be your child’s seventh grade math teacher this year. My mission
as a teacher is to help all my students to be successful and to reach their
highest potential. I take my job as a teacher very seriously, and will expect
your child to take his/her job as a student just as seriously. I will strive
to do my best, and will want your child to give me his/her best effort in
return. Communication is very
important and a two-way street. Please feel free to call, e-mail, or make an
appointment to meet with me any time a question or concern arises. You need
not wait until conferences in December to meet with me concerning your child.
My phone number is 676-4887 extension
4725. Feel free to leave a message anytime. You can also e-mail me. My e-mail address is: mbeymer@bham.wednet.edu. Seventh grade
mathematics in Bellingham utilizes the math curriculum for grades 6-8 called
the Connected Math Project (CMP for short!). Based on the latest research on the brain, learning, and
teaching mathematics, this curriculum teaches mathematics through discovery
and making connections. Much of the
math will be taught through problem solving real-life situations, as students
do investigations to “construct” their understanding of the concepts. Progression of 7th grade CMP math books: ·
Variables and
Patterns (graphing and pre-algebra) ·
Stretching
and Shrinking (similarity) ·
Comparing and
Scaling (ratios and proportions) ·
Filling and
Wrapping (volume and surface area) ·
What Do You
Expect? (probability) ·
Accentuate
the Negative (integers). Homework information: Look
for math homework nightly- Monday through Thursday. There will not be assigned homework on the
weekends unless your student is making up for an absence. NEED HELP? I am usually
available before and after school, and during lunch, to help students with
homework questions. Just let me know you are coming in! MORE TIMELY HELP- Please
call my homework hotline number: 676-4887 Extension
4725. I leave an updated message every night with advice and tips for doing the assigned homework problems, as well as information about what we did in class that day and advanced notice of upcoming tests and quizzes. Supply List Specific
to math: A calculator (any
calculator will do, but a scientific calculator, such as a TI-30, becomes
more important as the math involves more algebra.) DON’T SPEND MORE THAN $12! A 3-ring binder 1
or 1 ˝ inch. This will be just for
math class. It needs 5 dividers and
its own pencil pouch. A 100-count composition book A ruler Lots of pencils – preferably
not mechanical pencils
Red correcting pens These get lost and used up-buy a dozen! Graph paper
Not required, but helpful at times and necessary during our geometry and data/statistics
units. Internet Resources· Washington State curriculum and WASL info: http://www.k12.wa.us/·
