Seventh Grade Mathematics

In seventh grade, we focus on the following topics: 1) increasing the ability to persevere in solving mathematical questions; 2) developing an understanding of proportional relationships; 3) deepening the ability to solve problems with ratios and rates; 4) developing a greater understanding of rational numbers, mathematical expressions, linear equations, and linear inequalities; 5) deepening the ability to work with exponents and roots; 6) solving questions of scale and geometric constructions; 7) working with two- and three-dimensional shapes to find perimeter, area, surface area, and volume; and 8) applying mathematical reasoning to solve real world questions taken from our physics main lesson block and selected current events.

Math Tutoring

Sixth grade math tutoring is scheduled for Tuesdays, Fourth Period, from 2:15 to 3:00 pm. Contact your main class or math teacher if you would like to attend. In sixth grade, we focus on the following topics: 1) developing greater fluency in arithmetic skills learned in prior grades—in particular fractions, decimals and percents; 2) developing the ability to solve increasingly complex mathematical challenges; 3) working with ratios and rates; 4) developing a deeper understanding of rational numbers and integers; 5) writing, interpreting, and using expressions and monovariate equations; 6) converting between different units of measurement; 7) determining the shapes and sizes of basic geometric shapes; and 8) applying mathematical reasoning to solve real world questions taken from our physics main lesson block and selected current events.
