We provide a standards-based program that is focused on the major math concepts while using many different types of multimedia tools to engage students and inspire a greater interest in mathematics.
A 7th grade math curriculum should cover all the math strands, not just arithmetic. The major math strands for seventh grade curriculum are:
Probability
Geometry and spatial sense
Algebra
Ratio and proportional relationships
Data analysis
The ideal math curriculum for 7th grade should be based on these standards while engaging students with fun and varied activities.
What Math Should a 7th Grader Know?
Math Objectives for 7th Grade
A comprehensive 7th grade math curriculum will ensure that students are covering each of these learning targets:
Develop an understanding of operations with rational numbers.
Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems.
Solve real-world and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions, equations, and inequalities.
Interpret and analyze data presented in a variety of forms.
Accurately represent rational numbers with decimals.
Draw, construct, and describe geometrical figures and describe the relationships between them.
Extend use of the four basic arithmetic operations on whole numbers, fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals.
Use properties of operations to generate equivalent equations.
Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, and volume.
