7th Grade Math

Text: Holt Middle School Mathematics Course 2 (2004)

We feel it is essential for students to master the concepts and procedures in basic math to insure a firm foundation before moving into more abstract levels of math.  Students will be expected to have mastered fraction, decimal, and integer operations by the end of this year as well as percents, exponents, basic equations and inequalities, and various kinds of statistical graphs.  Students will be introduced to linear graphing and functions and will build on their knowledge of geometry.  Proportional reasoning is a major topic in 7th grade. This course will prepare students for Algebra Prep in 8th grade.
