Materials Needed

Pencils, eraser, loose-leaf, 3-ring binder, and ruler. Colouring pencils and calculator are optional. (Only use colouring pencils a few times and I do have some that can be borrowed and calculations are minimal at the grade 7 level in Mathematics…therefore an inexpensive calculator is all that is needed if one is purchased)
