Course Overview

Gifted & Talented Math 7 B expands students' advanced mathematical knowledge through enriched study of equations, inequalities, geometry, statistics, and probability. The course moves at an accelerated pace and includes complex, open-ended problems appropriate for high-performing learners.

Key Learning Focus

Students will:

• Solve advanced multi-step equations and inequalities with efficiency and depth.
• Investigate geometric relationships involving scale, surface area, and volume through complex applications.
• Explore probability models and analyze statistical variability.
• Identify and generalize algebraic patterns to prepare for pre-algebraic rigor.
• Engage in problem-solving that requires abstract reasoning and creativity.

Instructional Approach

Instruction emphasizes inquiry, advanced problem sets, higher-level discussions, and independent or small-group investigations. Students regularly work with non-routine problems and explore mathematics deeply through extension tasks.

Outcome

By the end of GT Math 7 B, students will:

• Show advanced readiness for Pre-Algebra or Algebra I acceleration pathways.
• Apply abstract and critical reasoning to multi-layered problems.
• Communicate deep mathematical understanding effectively.
• Demonstrate mastery of Math 7 standards at a high level of rigor.
