Description
Have you ever wondered, “When will I use this in real life?” Grade 7 Mathematics has great news! There are hundreds of ways that math is used in the real world, and this course is designed to help you think critically as you explore a few of those applications. With hands-on activities and interactive lessons, students will have the opportunity to apply what they learn in relevant ways. Key foundational concepts like proportional relationships, probability, and geometry will help prepare students for the next level of learning. Instructional time for Grade 7 Mathematics will emphasize five areas:
- recognizing that fractions, decimals, and percentages are different representations of rational numbers and performing all four operations with rational numbers with procedural fluency
- creating equivalent expressions and solving equations and inequalities
- developing understanding of and applying proportional relationships in two variables
- extending analysis of two- and three-dimensional figures to include circles and cylinders
- representing and comparing categorical and numerical data and developing understanding of probability

- Interpret the likelihood of a chance event occurring and compare the probabilities of chance events
- Find experimental probabilities and compare them to theoretical probabilities
Besides engaging students in challenging curriculum, the course guides students to reflect on their learning and evaluate their progress through a variety of assessments. Assessments can be in the form of practice lessons, multiple choice questions, writing assignments, projects, research papers, oral assessments, and discussions. This course will use the state-approved grading scale. Each course contains a mandatory final exam or culminating project that will be weighted at 20% of the student’s overall grade.***
***Proctored exams can be requested by FLVS at any time and for any reason in an effort to ensure academic integrity. When taking the exam to assess a student’s integrity, the exam must be passed with at least a 59.5% in order to earn credit for the course.
