In seventh-grade accelerated honors, students will begin the year by developing an understanding of operations with integers and then all rational numbers. A critical area of instruction in Accelerated Honors Math 7 is developing an understanding and application of proportional relationships, including percentages. Students use ratios in cases that involve pairs of rational number entries and compute associated rates. They identify unit rates in representations of proportional relationships and work with equations in two variables to represent and analyze proportional relationships. They compare proportional relationships as a representation of slope and delve into multiple representations of linear functions. They also solve multistep ratios and percent problems, such as problems involving percent increase and decrease.  After having time to master integer operations, students will build on this understanding and use the arithmetic of rational numbers as they formulate expressions and equations in one variable and use these equations to solve real-world and mathematical problems. They develop fluency in solving multi-step equations.  Students will extend their study of geometry as they solve problems involving scale drawings and informal geometric constructions. Students also work with two- and three-dimensional shapes to solve problems involving area, surface area, and volume, including but not limited to cylinders, cones, and spheres. Students identify perfect squares and cubes as rational numbers.   Students then are introduced to probability and come to understand the difference between theoretical and experimental probability. In grade seven, they extend their work with single data distributions to compare two different data distributions and address questions about differences between populations. They also begin informal work with random sampling.
