Algebra 1 Hn 7th grade at Longfellow

[Anonymous]

In years past, there was mention of a math in this class in the first quarter that many kids struggled with. Anyone know what it was or know if there is a curriculum somewhere?

The teacher is apparently difficult.

This sounds like gossip.
Many kids struggle with many math topics many times.

There is more than one teacher that teaches it.

Hi Op,
Get tutoring ASAP for your child, we waited, but didn't not get better.
The teacher was hard, the pop quiz was difficult due to anxiety issues, I think the teacher calls students out or something like that. This was many years ago!

Final exam was very difficult and child end up with a B-only with tutoring the last two months of the school year! We should have gotten help like in January 2nd! Try not to wait ...

PP again, teacher was a tough ass! Maybe one of the best math guys, but his style was definitely difficult for my kid. So a blessing in disguise, otherwise, we may not have gotten him help. The tutoring gave him a tool and better equipped for future study habits I think.

Do you remember the tutor you used, or the tutoring service?

The number of posters who had kids at Longfellow is probably not that high to begin with, and even a year later, you may not remember the details. For instance, my DD is at a different middle school, taking Geometry this year. I don't really remember what the previous year's units were that she had trouble with, and I wouldn't respond to this even if I did, because her experience at a different MS is likely not relevant here.

If anyone wants to know what the problematic units in Geometry are, I would unhesitatingly say that it's Unit 2 (Logic) and Unit 3 (Start of proofs with lines). Unit 4 (triangle proofs) has been easy, now that she knows how to think about proofs.
