Statistics and Probability: Use random sampling to draw inferences about a population draw informal comparative inferences about two populations investigate chance processes and develop, use, and evaluate probability models.Geometry: Draw, construct and describe geometrical figures and describe the relationships between them solve real-life and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, surface area, and volume.The Number System: Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers.Įxpressions and Equations: Use properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions solve real-life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations.Ratios and Proportional Relationships: Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real world and mathematical problems.The foci of Math 7 are outlined below by domain. The Standards for Mathematical Content in Grades 6 – 8 are organized under domains: The Number System, Ratios and Proportional Relationships, Functions, Expressions and Equations, Geometry, and Statistics and Probability. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.

Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.The eight Standards for Mathematical Practice are: They describe the characteristics and habits of mind that all students who are mathematically proficient should be able to exhibit. The Standards for Mathematical Practice rest on important “processes and proficiencies” with longstanding importance in mathematics education. Standard Course of Study for Mathematics consists of two types of standards - Standards for Mathematical Practice that span K-12 and Standards for Mathematical Content specific to each course.

Students are encouraged to engage in daily independent reading to practice their skills and pursue their interests.

Students learn language conventions and vocabulary to help them understand and analyze words and phrases, relationships among words, and nuances that affect the text they read, write, and hear. They hone skills of flexible communication and collaboration as they learn to work together, express and listen carefully to ideas, integrate information and use media and visual displays to help communicate ideas. Seventh graders also conduct short research projects drawing on and citing several sources appropriately. Guided by rubrics, students write for a variety of purposes and audiences. Writing skills, such as the ability to plan, revise, edit, and publish, develop as students practice skills of specific writing types such as arguments, informative/explanatory texts, and narratives. Students learn about the writing-reading connection by drawing upon and writing about evidence from literary and informational texts. Experience with a variety of text types and text complexity helps students develop a knowledge-based essential for recognizing and understanding allusions. They read a balance of short and long fiction, drama, poetry, and informational text such as memoirs, articles, and essays and apply skills such as citing textual evidence, analyzing points of view and presentation, and examining how parts of the text affect the whole. Through print and non-print text, they increase comprehension strategies, vocabulary, as well as high order thinking skills. Students read a wide range of text, varying in levels of sophistication and purpose. Standard Course of Study for English Language Arts, seventh graders develop skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening, and language through experience with print and digital resources.
