Because Junior High Math is a three-year program, we focus on mental math, computation skills, and problem-solving strategies that build throughout the 6 th, 7 th and 8 th grade years and will prepare the students for high school. We combine individual and group work, as well as traditional testing, partner assessments, the First in Math program, Smartboard and netbook technology, and hands-on projects and activities that offer real-life learning opportunities.
Areas of focus for 7th Grade include:
Algebraic Expressions and Equations
Using Integers in all Calculations
Solving and Graphing Inequalities
Proportional Relationships
Percents in Everyday Life (finding a percent of a number, calculating tax, interest, tip, etc)
Unit Rates
Scale Drawings
Probability and Predictions
Circumference and Area of Circles
Volumes of all 3-D Shapes
