Mathematics
The primary focal points at Grade 7 are numbers and operations; proportionality, expressions, equations, and relationships; and measurement and data. Students use concepts, algorithms, and properties of rational numbers to explore mathematical relationships and to describe increasingly complex situations. Students use concepts of proportionality and algebraic thinking to explore, develop, and communicate mathematical relationships, including number, geometry and measurement, and statistics and probability. Problem solving in meaningful contexts, language and communication, connections within and outside mathematics, and formal and informal reasoning underlie all content areas in mathematics.
Double Blocked Mathematics
This local course may be required on some campuses for students enrolled in Mathematics (MA7200). The focus of this course is to provide extra time and support on topics such as numbers and operations, proportionality, expressions, equations, measurement, geometry, and probability.
Advanced Mathematics
This course will prepare the motivated math student for Algebra 1 in the eighth grade. The primary focal areas in Advanced 7 Math are proportionality; expressions, equations, relationships, and foundations of functions; and measurement and data. Students use concepts, algorithms, and properties of real numbers to explore mathematical relationships and to describe increasingly complex situations. Students use concepts of proportionality to explore, develop, and communicate mathematical relationships, including statistics and probability. Students use algebraic thinking to describe how a change in one quantity in a relationship results in a change in the other. Students connect verbal, numeric, graphic, and symbolic representations of relationships, including equations and inequalities. Students begin to develop an understanding of functional relationships. While the use of all types of technology is important, the emphasis on algebra readiness skills necessitates the implementation of graphing technology.
