Seventh Grade Pre-Algebra - Mrs. Hannigan
This is the homework page for Mrs. Hannigan's 7th grade math class. I will post the homework for the upcoming week by the end of the Friday of the preceding week. The most recent week is posted at the top, but you can scroll down to see older assignments or to check on the specifics of makeup work (I never delete a week).
Please check daily for updated and specific homework assignments for each night (they can change based on what we accomplished each day in class).
Click here for our class syllabus.
You can find our math resources online at the following link:
Glencoe Prealgebra Text
However, you cannot access the actual book because we have the DVDs instead as part of our text purchase. You have all been given the opportunity to take home a disk and download it or keep it for the entire year. See Mrs. Hannigan if you need to borrow a disk again at any time.
Our MathScore account can be found at www.css.co.mathscore.com
