Otter's 7th Grade (Pre-Algebra) Math
Schedule
*I designed this schedule in WEB layout. (Microsoft Word: tool bar: view: web layout). You may have to
adjust the tables if you want to view it in print layout.
This is the math schedule I developed for my 7th grader. My goal is to make math fun and interactive.
Just because we are heading into middle school math, doesn't mean that Otter is "too big" to play
around with math. I chose Holt Mathematics Course 2 because it is rigorous, it has proven results and
because of the humorous videos for each chapter (by the Edward Burger who does the Thinkwell
videos). I also like the wealth of resources available via the "One Stop Teacher's CD-Rom".
I do NOT plan to get through this in 1 school year (well, probably not). We are going to take our time and
really work on building a solid foundation before moving on to algebra. Past experience has shown me
that Otter is not one to be rushed through math. We are going to take our time to really work through
and understand each concept before moving into a full-blown algebra course.
Besides the things listed in the schedule, Otter is also doing Teaching Textbooks Pre-algebra. (Yeah, we
always do 2 math programs!) We may move ahead in TT and that is not reflected in my math sequence
listed below.
My planned math sequence is the following:
7th grade: pre-algebra
8th grade: pre-algebra
9th grade: algebra
10th grade: algebra II (or geometry) *depending
on whether or not he plans to take the PSAT in
Oct. of 11th grade
11th grade: geometry (or algebra II) *He may take
algebra II and geometry concurrently in the 10th
grade as my daughter did.
12: grade: pre-calculus
Alternate sequence (if he is able to move through
the material faster)
7th grade: pre-algebra
8th grade: algebra
9th grade: algebra II
10th grade: geometry
11th grade: pre-calculus
12: grade: calculus (or statistics or other advanced
math)
Gizmos (scheduled below) are accessed by subscription through www.explorelearning.com. You can also
get a free 30 day trial or try each activity with a "free pass" of 5 minutes. *You may want to access the
desired gizmo, click on the instructions, SHUT DOWN the Gizmo so you can read the instructions and
THEN spend the rest of the time in the Gizmo (so you don't use up all the time reading the instructions).
Books, videos, songs and activities help introduce concepts and make them more hands-on and/or fun.
:-)
The Mental Math in Junior High book adds in a mental math component for the year. The lessons are
short with cartoon drawings and very practical!! This is an important skill that is often overlooked!! You
really need to understand math, in order to do it mentally!

Lessons (main text)
I didn't schedule in the extra
worksheets and practice pages.
We're going to play it by ear and I will
assign everything on an as needed
basis. How quickly he is able to firmly
grasp concepts will determine the
speed at which we move through the
textbook.
