Grade 7

Comprehensive Overview

Seventh grade (7th grade) mathematics course content regularly incorporates the 8 Mathematical Practices, the Framework for Statistical Reasoning, and the Mathematical Modeling Framework through four big ideas of content: (1) numerical reasoning, (2) probability reasoning, (3) patterning and algebraic reasoning, and (4) geometric and spatial reasoning. Students will build numerical reasoning skills through positive and negative number operations including all rational numbers in context then extend that learning to formally explore simple probability models to explain real-world phenomena. Students will build their algebraic reasoning skills to rewrite expressions, work with multistep equations and inequalities, and use proportional relationships to solve multistep percent problems, discover scale drawings using similar triangles to explain slope. Students will also explore geometric relationships involving area of a circle, volume of 3D shapes including cylinders, and exploring angle measure relationships. The fundamental purpose of Grade 7 mathematics is to formalize and extend the mathematics that students learned in the previous grades. Seventh grade standards use algebra to deepen and extend understanding of geometric knowledge from prior grades. The Mathematical Practices, Mathematical Modeling Framework and Framework for Statistical Reasoning apply throughout each course and, together with the content standards, prescribe that students experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes use of their ability to make sense of problem situations.

Coweta County School System follows the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) curriculum and instructional learning plans, adhering to the state-designed scope and sequence.

To support instruction, grade-specific teacher guides with weekly lesson plans have been developed for Coweta County educators. These resources are available in the Middle School Math Shared Drive, organized by grade band.

Access to the shared drive requires you being a member. If you do not have access, please contact your school's ETSS to request to be added.
