  1. Welcome to Class!Mrs. Minerva Room 658 "Students are at the heart of Oak Valley and meeting their needs is our first priority."

  2. Mrs. Minerva’s Classes • 7th Grade Pre-Algebra (Period 1) • 7th Grade Algebra 1-2 (Period 3) • 7th Grade Life Science (Periods 2 ,7, 8) • 7th Grade Encore /Workshop (Periods 5 & 6)

  3. 5th / 6th Encore / Workshop • Minerva / Doyle • All Mondays – Monday Lessons • Tue–Fri Odd Days- EncoreEven Days- Workshop (L/A, Math) • Volunteers needed

  4. Doyle / Minerva • Volunteers: If interested, sign up / email Parent Partner to help coordinate • Art Corp: If interested, sign up / email / Sept 23rd • Field Trips • Donations: Thank you for all you do! Materials Monetary: Checks to OVMS with Doyle/Minerva on subject line

  5. Pre-Algebra – What’s That? Pre-Algebra is the fundamental link between mathematics and algebra. It is the link between the concrete and the abstract. Learn to use the “language” of algebra. We begin with easier concepts (2x + 5 = 9) just like you would learn Spanish talking first about things we know – not nuclear physics – then about more complex.

  6. Pre-Algebra – Key Info Grading:Academic = quizzes, tests, projectsError Analysis to 85% max(70% if late / incorrect)Work Habits = Homework + ParticipationCitizenship = Following Class/OVMS rules Homework: Daily =Assigned + Review Notes: Daily / PowerPoints posted online 37 Students currently in class (to Student & Parent Resources)

  7. Algebra 1-2 – What’s That? One way to think of Algebra is using equations, with symbols, to solve real-world problems. Algebra 1-2 is a high school level course.

  8. Algebra 1-2 –Key Info • Grading:Academic = quizzes, tests, projects Error Analysis to 85% max (70% if late / incorrect)Work Habits = Homework + ParticipationCitizenship = Following Class/OVMS rules • Homework: Daily =Assigned + Review • Notes: Daily / PowerPoints posted online • Pace: Fast • 37 Students in class (to Student & Parent Resources)
