Mathematics 7 is designed to prepare students for an Algebra I course. The curriculum includes pre-algebra topics and provides a challenging study of arithmetic, geometric, algebraic, and statistical topics. This course provides increased opportunities for students to apply problem solving and critical thinking as part of their mathematics studies. Problem solving is included in all areas of study so students develop a wide range of skills and strategies for solving standard and nonstandard problems. Topics including estimation, number theory, geometry, algebra, and measurement form the foundation for the study of advanced mathematics later in high school. Emerging technologies are incorporated into the curriculum in order to allow students opportunities to explore concepts. Mathematical communication and reasoning are emphasized throughout the course. Students completing this course will take the Grade 7 Mathematics SOL test.
