This year we will explore a melange of mathematical concepts: integers & rational numbers; equations & inequalities; ratios, rates & proportions; 2D & 3D geometry and measurement; statistics & probability. All of these concepts constitute the foundation for your understanding of algebra and beyond. Whether you feel nervous about all of these topics or completely confident in math, we will work together to keep you challenged without feeling overwhelmed. Let's have a great 7th grade year!
