In Math 7, you will start by studying scale drawings in Unit 1. Scale drawings help support Unit 2 and Unit 4 which are about proportional relationships and percents. It also makes use of grade 6 arithmetic understanding and skill, without arithmetic becoming the major focus of attention at this point.
Geometry and proportional relationships are also interwoven in the third unit on circles, where the important proportional relationship between a circle's circumference and its diameter is studied.
By the time you reach the fifth unit, you will work on operations with rational numbers, both positive and negative. The work on operations on rational numbers, with its emphasis on the role of the properties of operations in determining the rules for operating with negative numbers, is a natural lead-in to the work on expressions and equations in the next unit.
Students then put their arithmetical and algebraic skills to work in the last two units, on angles, triangles, and prisms, and on probability and sampling.
Hello!
My name is Ms. Castillo. I graduated with a degree in Mathematics from Cal State San Bernardino and earned my Master's Degree in Teaching from Chapman University. This is my 14th year teaching 7th grade math and my 16th year teaching overall. I've been at Miller since we opened 12 years ago and I love it here!
I have three children. Jordan, who is a senior at King, Maddox who is a 6th grader at Twain and Madelyn who is 3. Please click here to view some pics of my beautiful family :)
If I'm not teaching, there's a good chance I'm watching a horror movie or going to Disneyland with my kids (when it was open). Since Disneyland has been closed we've been taking lots of beach trips! Click here for my Bitmoji Classroom
