Course Description:
This course focuses on four critical areas: (1) connecting ratio and rate to whole number multiplication and division using concepts of ratio and rate to solve problems; (2) understanding division of fractions and extending the notion of numbers to the system of rational numbers, which includes negative numbers; (3) writing, interpreting, and using expressions and equations; and (4) developing an understanding of statistical thinking. Problem solving and applications to real-life situations are infused throughout the curriculum. Sixth-grade standards are deepened into seventh-grade concepts to focus on algebra readiness. The use of manipulatives and technology is emphasized throughout the course. This course aligns with the South Carolina College and Career Ready Standards for Mathematics for Grade 6 and Grade 7 focusing on algebra readiness.
