7th Grade Math

At Corvian Community School, we strive to develop our students into independent thinkers and problem solvers. We feel strongly about the use of hands-on, inquiry-based learning, integrated activities, and differentiated instruction. Sometimes our students will be engaged in integrated units of study where mathematical skills and concepts are couched into a scientific context. In other instances, we will teach math and science separately, but often with a project-based approach. In 6th, 7th, and 8th grade we will align the curriculum and capitalize on the natural math/science connections that can occur at each level of study.
Instruction and learning in Common Core Math 7 focuses on five critical areas:
 
  • developing understanding of and applying proportional relationships
  • developing understanding of operations with rational numbers and working with expressions and linear equations
  • solving problems involving scale drawings and informal geometric constructions, and working with two- and three-dimensional shapes to solve problems involving area, surface area, and volume
  • drawing inferences about two populations using measures of center and variability
  • developing understanding of probability and applying various methods to find the probabilities of compound events

    • Common Core Accelerated Math 7

    In addition to the five critical areas described for Common Core Math 7, Accelerated Math 7 contains content from 8th grade standards. The additional content demands a faster pace for instruction and learning.
