Course Description

  • Math 7 is based on the Minnesota Standards for Mathematics in the areas of number and operation, algebra, geometry and measurement and data analysis. Skills in working with positive and negative numbers, ratios and proportions, and problem solving are areas of main emphasis.

Standards Taught in Grade 7 Math

  • Number and Operation

    • 7.1.1 Read, write, represent and compare positive and negative rational numbers, expressed as integers, fractions and decimals.
    • 7.1.2 Calculate with positive and negative rational numbers, and rational numbers with whole number exponents, to solve real-world and mathematical problems.

    Algebra

    • 7.2.2 Recognize proportional relationships in real-world and mathematical situations represent these and other relationships with tables, verbal descriptions, symbols and graphs; solve problems involving proportional relationships and explain results in the original contexts.
    • 7.2.4 Represent real-world and mathematical situations using equations with variables. Solve equations symbolically, using the properties of equality. Also solve equations graphically and numerically. Interpret solutions in the original context.

    Geometry and Measurement

    • 7.3.2 Analyze the effect of change of scale, translations and reflections on the attributes of two-dimensional figures.

    Data Analysis

    • 7.4.1 Use mean, median and range to draw conclusions about data and make predictions.
