The basic concepts that have to be covered in Math 7 are listed above. The key concepts will be
covered through the use of Math Make Sense 7.
Before diving into the Grade 7 curriculum, we will spend approximately 2-3 weeks reviewing
basic arithmetic. Number facts and the times tables will be emphasized.
In October, after the review of arithmetic, we will look at the addition and subtraction of Integers
(Chapter 2). From there, students will then investigate the relationships between fractions,
decimals, and percents, (Chapters 3) and the operations of fraction (Chapter 5).
In December, we will introduce algebraic expressions and equations and its relations to number
patters, tables, and graphs (Chapters 1), Students will then apply the preservation of equality in
solving algebraic equations and problems (Chapters 6).
We will investigate the radius, diameter, and circumference of a circle next. In the Geometry
section, students will apply what they have master in algebraic equations to find the areas of a
circle, parallelogram, and a triangle (Chapter 4). By introducing the Cartesian plane, students
will identify and plot points and shapes. Parallel and perpendicular line segments will be
introduced along with angle bisectors and perpendicular bisectors (Chapter 8).
Lastly in the Statistics section, students will apply with they have been exposed to throughout the
year in interpretation of graphs and charts, to finding mean mode, median, and range for a set of
data and the effects of a outlier in determining the central tendencies (Chapter 7).
