Course Overview

Math 7 A builds upon prior mathematical learning by deepening students' understanding of proportional reasoning, rational numbers, and algebraic relationships. Students engage in conceptual exploration and problem solving while developing procedural fluency aligned with state and national standards. The course emphasizes real-world applications, reasoning, and communication as students transition into more advanced middle school mathematics.

Key Learning Focus

Students will:

• Apply and analyze ratios, proportions, and percent relationships.
• Extend operations with rational numbers, including integers.
• Represent and interpret algebraic expressions and linear relationships.
• Solve problems using proportions, percent error, and real-world contexts.
• Strengthen mathematical reasoning and model real-life scenarios mathematically.

Instructional Approach

Instruction integrates guided exploration, visual models, collaborative learning, and technology-enhanced activities. Students justify ideas through mathematical discussions, written explanations, and multiple representations.

Outcome

By the end of Math 7 A, students will:

• Demonstrate proficiency with proportional reasoning and rational number operations.
• Represent and reason through algebraic and real-world relationships.
• Communicate mathematical thinking clearly and precisely.
• Be well-prepared to advance to Math 7 B.
