7th Grade Math Syllabus
Lawrence County Schools
Every Child College and Career Ready
Instructor: Miss Bethany Muncy
Course Description
In Grade 7, instructional time should focus on four critical areas: (1) developing understanding of and applying
proportional relationships; (2) developing understanding of operations with rational numbers and working with
expressions and linear equations; (3) 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; and (4) drawing inferences about populations based on samples.
