Math 7 Advanced Review
Unit 1
Rational, Irrational Numbers, Integer with Exponents Review
1
 Know that numbers that are not rational are irrational. Understand informally that every number
has a decimal expansion; for rational numbers show that the decimal expansion repeats eventually,
and convert a decimal expansion which repeats eventually into a rational number. [8-NS1]
2
 Use rational approximations or irrational numbers to compare the size of irrational numbers, locate
them approximately on a number line diagram, and estimate the value of expressions. [8-NS2]
3
 Know and apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical expressions.
[8-EE1]
4
 Use square root and cube root symbols to represent solutions to equations of the form x2 = p and
x3 = p, where p is a positive rational number. Evaluate square roots of small perfect squares and
cube roots of small perfect cubes. Know that √2 is irrational. [8-EE2]
Unit 2
Scientific Notations
 Perform operations with numbers expressed in scientific notation, including problems where both
decimal and scientific notation are used. Use scientific notation and choose units of appropriate
size for measurements of very large or very small quantities (e.g., use millimeters per year for
seafloor spreading). Interpret scientific notation that has been generated by technology. [8-EE4]

Unit 4 (Continued)
Transformations
 Understand that a two-dimensional figure is similar to another if the second can be obtained from
the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, translations, and dilations; given two similar twodimensional figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the similarity between them. [8-G4]
 Understand that two-dimensional figure is similar to another if the second can be obtained fro m
the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, and translations; given two congruent figures,
describe a sequence that exhibits the congruence between them.[8-G2]
 Describe the effect of dilations, translations, rotations, and reflections on two-dimensional figures
using coordinates. [8-G3]
Unit 5
Bivariate Statistics

Construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data to investigate patterns of
association between two quantities. Describe patterns such as clustering, outliers, positive or
negative association, linear association, and nonlinear association. [8-SP1]

Know that straight lines are widely used to model relationships between two quantitative
variables. For scatter plots that suggest a linear association, informally assess the model fit by
judging the closeness of the data points to the line. [8-SP2]

Use the equation of a linear model to solve problems in the context of bivariate measurement
data, interpreting the slope and intercept. [8-SP3]

Understand that patterns of association can also be seen in bivariate categorical data by
displaying frequencies and relative frequencies in a two-way table. Construct and interpret a
two-way table summarizing data on two categorical variables collected from the same subjects.
Use relative frequencies calculated for rows or columns to describe possible association
between the two variables. [8-SP4]
