Course Title

Prerequisite : Math 6

Common Core Math 7

Intended Audience: This course is designed for the student who has successfully completed Math 6 by the end of the 6 th
grade.

Year-at-a -glance

This course is comprised of all the Pennsylvania Core Standards for grade 7 mathematics. While coherence is retained, in that it logically
builds from the 6th Grade mathematics course, this course demands a normal pace for instruction and learning. The Mathematical Practice

Standards apply throughout each course and, together with the content standards, prescribe that students experience mathematics as a

coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes use of their ability to make sense of problem situations. The critical areas are as follows:

• Students develop an understanding of number, recognizing fractions, decimals and percents as different representations of rational
  numbers. Students extend addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to all rational numbers. Students explain and interpret
  the rules for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing with negative numbers and properties of operations to develop an
  understanding of integer exponents, and to work with numbers written in scientific notation.


• Students will use some linear equations and implement procedures to solve linear equations in one variable.


• Students solve problems involving the area and circumference of a circle and surface area of three-dimensional objects and solve
  real-world and mathematical problems involving area.


• Students use ideas about distance and angles, how they behave under translations, rotations, reflections, and ideas about
  congruence and similarity to describe and analyze two-dimensional figures and to solve problems. Students show that the sum of
  the angles in a triangle is the angle formed by a straight line and complete their work on volume by solving problems involving
  cones, cylinders, and spheres.

After successfully completing the course, students will be allowed to enroll in Common Core Math 8.
