MATH 7 ​(​PBSD Math Pathway​)
1317 Math 7
1327 Math 7 Compacted
Math 7 or Math 7 Current will solidify the student’s understanding of computation with rational numbers and linear expressions. Problem solving with equations and inequalities will also be emphasized during the year. The course will furthermore provide an introduction to the concepts of algebra and geometry, as well as provide exploratory experiences in proportionality, data analysis and probability.
The development of problem solving strategies will be stressed in all units. A student who is successful with this program should be prepared to take Math 8 in the eighth grade. Students enrolled in this class will take the Mathematics​ ​Pennsylvania System of School Assessmen​t​ (PSSA).
* ​Math 7 Compacted ​is the same curriculum as Math 7, but the course may move faster or go deeper into specific content based on the readiness of learners in the classroom.
2317 PDLA Math 7
This course begins with an in-depth study of proportional reasoning during which students utilize concrete models such as bar diagrams and tables to increase and develop conceptual understanding of rates, ratios, proportions, and percentages. Students’ number fluency and understanding of the rational number system are extended as they perform operations with signed rational numbers embedded in real-world contexts. In statistics, students develop meanings for representative samples, measures of central tendency, variation, and the ideal representation for comparisons of given data sets. Students develop an understanding of both theoretical and experimental probability. Throughout the course, students build fluency in writing expressions and equations that model real-world scenarios. They apply their understanding of inverse operations to solve multi-step equations and inequalities. Students build on their proportional reasoning to solve problems about scale drawings by relating the corresponding lengths between objects. The course concludes with a geometric analysis of angle relationships, area, and volume of both two- and three-dimensional figures. Students enrolled in this class will take the Mathematics Pennsylvania System of School Assessmen​t​ (PSSA).
