Curriculum Overview
In Grade 7, students will focus on: (1) developing understanding of and applying proportional relationships; (2) developing understanding of operations with rational numbers and working with expressions and linear equations; (3) solving problems involving scale drawings and informal geometric constructions, and working with two- and three-dimensional shapes to solve problems involving area, surface area, and volume; and (4) drawing inferences about populations based on samples.
Focus areas of 7th Grade Mathematics:
Ratios and Proportional Relationships
- Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real‐world and mathematical problems.
The Number System
- Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers.
Expressions and Equations
- Use properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions.
- Solve real‐life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations.
