7th Grade:
7th graders will develop their understanding of proportional relationships using their previous knowledge of ratios and rates to solve one-step and multi-step problems and represent these relationships through scale drawings and graphing. Students will also develop their understanding of operations with all rational numbers including decimals, percents, fractions and positive and negative numbers. They will use rational numbers to work with and solve expressions and linear equations. Students will solve problems using scale drawings, informal geometric constructions, and two- and three-dimensional shapes involving area, surface area and volume. Students will also extend their understanding of statistical data by comparing sets of data and drawing conclusions based on those comparisons.
