GRADE 7 CURRICULUM SUMMARY NUMBER AND OPERATION SENSE •use models to express repeated multiplication using exponents •express numbers in expanded form so the place value of each digit is shown •write large numbers in scientific notation •develop and apply divisibility rules for 3, 4, 6, and 9 •solve and create problems that require finding common factors and the greatest common factor •solve and create problems that require finding common multiples and the least common multiple •estimate the sums and differences of fractions when appropriate •use mental mathematics to multiply whole numbers and fractions •use mental mathematics when working with decimals •change fractions to decimals and vice versa •compare and order fractions and decimals •use estimation to check reasonableness of answers •apply the order of operations for problems involving whole numbers and decimals •demonstrate number sense for percent •estimate and calculate solutions to percent problems •compare and order integers •use manipulatives and diagrams to develop the understanding of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of integers •add, subtract, multiply, and divide integers symbolically and be able to apply in problem solving ALGEBRA AND PATTERNS •investigate and describe patterns using algebraic expressions, tables, and graphs •create and evaluate simple variable expressions •distinguish between like and unlike terms •add and subtract like and unlike terms •solve and check one- and two-step equations using systematic trial, manipulatives, and diagrams •graph linear equations using a table of values •construct and analyse graphs GEOMETRY AND MEASUREMENT •recognize, name, describe, and construct polygons •use geometric thinking to explore regular polygons and their properties •use transformations or combinations of transformations to generate polygons •use geometric thinking to investigate regular and semi-regular tessellations •construct regular and semi-regular polyhedra and name the resulting solid •use geometric thinking to explore and apply angle relationships •use geometric thinking to do a variety of constructions •identify the minimum sufficient conditions needed to guarantee a specific type of triangle or quadrilateral •identify, use, and convert among SI units to solve problems •explore and analyse rates •construct and analyse graphs of rates •understand the relationships among diameter, radius, and circumference of a circle DATA MANAGEMENT AND PROBABILITY •distinguish between biased and unbiased sampling •use appropriate methods to collect data •construct appropriate data displays •determine “averages”—mean, median, and mode •Identify situations whose probabilities of happening are near 0, ¼, ½, ¾, and 1 •use fractions, decimals, and percentages to describe probability •use experiments and simulations to explore and solve probability problems •calculate and compare theoretical and experimental probabilities
