Lesson 1: Learning Checklist Grade 7 Math Workbook
Please fill out the learning checklist found at the end of each lesson test. This checklist will help you
keep track of how your skills are progressing and what you need to work on. You can also add notes to
help your parent or teacher understand how to help you (or your parent might want to add notes in
this space).
Here is what the different headings mean:
Developing: You still need to work on this skill.
Consistent: You use this skill correctly most of the time.
Competent: You show mastery of this skill.
Please remember that these skills continue to develop over time so don’t worry if you can’t do all of
them yet. The main goal is to be aware of which skills you need to focus on.
