Math Curriculum

7th Grade Connected Math

 

This course covers the topics listed below. Students learn to recognize and generalize patterns and relationships and apply this knowledge to increasingly more difficult problems. Units will cover:

  • An Introduction to Algebra: variables, tables, graphs and symbols as representations
  • Similarity: Similar figures with congruence as a special case
  • Proportional Reasoning: rate, ratio, proportion, and percent
  • 3-D Measurement: Surface area and volume
  • Integers: Operations with positive and negative numbers
  • Linear Relationships: Expressed in words, tables, graphs and equations
  • Probability: Expected value.
 

8th Grade Connected Math

This course covers the topics listed below. Students continue to grow in their knowledge of mathematics using the strategies and concepts learned in the previous two years. Units will cover:

  • Functions: An introduction to modeling with linear and other functions
  • Pythagorean Theorem: Right triangles, slope, area and irrational numbers
  • Exponential Growth: Graphing and writing exponential functions
  • Quadratic Growth: Graphing, writing and solving quadratic functions
  • Symbolic Expressions: Simplifying expressions and solving more complicated linear equations
  • Transformational Geometry: Symmetries and their relationship to algebraic properties
  • Statistics: Gathering data from samples to make predictions about populations
