Syllabus

The 7th Grade Math curriculum is aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and focuses on building a strong foundation in mathematical concepts, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Students will engage in real-world applications to deepen their understanding and prepare for future math courses. 

Students will participate in unit tests to check for understanding along with projects throughout the year.
