13 I t r o d u c t i o Purpose of This Documet Grade 7 Mathematics: Support Documet for Teachers provides various suggestios for istructio, assessmet strategies, ad learig resources that promote the meaigful egagemet of mathematics learers i Grade 7. The documet is iteded to be used by teachers as they work with studets i achievig the learig outcomes ad achievemet idicators idetified i Kidergarte to Grade 8 Mathematics: Maitoba Curriculum Framework of Outcomes (Maitoba Educatio, Citizeship ad Youth). Backgroud Kidergarte to Grade 8 Mathematics: Maitoba Curriculum Framework of Outcomes is based o The Commo Curriculum Framework for K 9 Mathematics, which resulted from ogoig collaboratio with the Wester ad Norther Caadia Protocol (WNCP). I its work, WNCP emphasizes commo educatioal goals the ability to collaborate ad achieve commo goals high stadards i educatio plaig a array of educatioal activities removig obstacles to accessibility for idividual learers optimum use of limited educatioal resources The growig effects of techology ad the eed for techology-related skills have become more apparet i the last half cetury. Mathematics ad problem-solvig skills are becomig more valued as we move from a idustrial to a iformatioal society. As a result of this tred, mathematics literacy has become icreasigly importat. Makig coectios betwee mathematical study ad daily life, busiess, idustry, govermet, ad evirometal thikig is imperative. The Kidergarte to Grade 12 mathematics curriculum is desiged to support ad promote the uderstadig that mathematics is a way of learig about our world part of our daily lives both quatitative ad geometric i ature Itroductio 1

14 Overview Beliefs about Studets ad Mathematics Learig The Kidergarte to Grade 7 mathematics curriculum is desiged with the uderstadig that studets have uique iterests, abilities, ad eeds. As a result, it is imperative to make coectios to all studets prior kowledge, experieces, ad backgrouds. Studets are curious, active learers with idividual iterests, abilities, ad eeds. They come to classrooms with uique kowledge, life experieces, ad backgrouds. A key compoet i successfully developig umeracy is makig coectios to these backgrouds ad experieces. Studets lear by attachig meaig to what they do, ad they eed to costruct their ow meaig of mathematics. This meaig is best developed whe learers ecouter mathematical experieces that proceed from the simple to the complex ad from the cocrete to the abstract. The use of maipulatives ad a variety of pedagogical approaches ca address the diversity of learig styles ad developmetal stages of studets, ad ehace the formatio of soud, trasferable mathematical cocepts. At all levels, studets beefit from workig with a variety of materials, tools, ad cotexts whe costructig meaig about ew mathematical ideas. Meaigful studet discussios ca provide essetial liks amog cocrete, pictorial, ad symbolic represetatios of mathematics. The learig eviromet should value ad respect all studets experieces ad ways of thikig, so that learers are comfortable takig itellectual risks, askig questios, ad posig cojectures. Studets eed to explore problem-solvig situatios i order to develop persoal strategies ad become mathematically literate. Learers must realize that it is acceptable to solve problems i differet ways ad that solutios may vary. First Natios, Métis, ad Iuit Perspectives First Natios, Métis, ad Iuit studets i Maitoba come from diverse geographic areas with varied cultural ad liguistic backgrouds. Studets atted schools i a variety of settigs, icludig urba, rural, ad isolated commuities. Teachers eed to recogize ad uderstad the diversity of cultures withi schools ad the diverse experieces of studets. First Natios, Métis, ad Iuit studets ofte have a whole-world view of the eviromet; as a result, may of these studets live ad lear best i a holistic way. This meas that studets look for coectios i learig, ad lear mathematics best whe it is cotextualized ad ot taught as discrete cotet. May First Natios, Métis, ad Iuit studets come from cultural eviromets where learig takes place through active participatio. Traditioally, little emphasis was 2 Grade 7 Mathematics: Support Documet for Teachers

15 placed upo the writte word. Oral commuicatio alog with practical applicatios ad experieces are importat to studet learig ad uderstadig. A variety of teachig ad assessmet strategies are required to build upo the diverse kowledge, cultures, commuicatio styles, skills, attitudes, experieces, ad learig styles of studets. The strategies used must go beyod the icidetal iclusio of topics ad objects uique to a culture or regio, ad strive to achieve higher levels of multicultural educatio (Baks ad Baks). Affective Domai A positive attitude is a importat aspect of the affective domai that has a profoud effect o learig. Eviromets that create a sese of belogig, ecourage risk takig, ad provide opportuities for success help studets develop ad maitai positive attitudes ad self-cofidece. Studets with positive attitudes toward learig mathematics are likely to be motivated ad prepared to lear, participate willigly i classroom learig activities, persist i challegig situatios, ad egage i reflective practices. Teachers, studets, ad parets* eed to recogize the relatioship betwee the affective ad cogitive domais, ad attempt to urture those aspects of the affective domai that cotribute to positive attitudes. To experiece success, studets must be taught to set achievable goals ad assess themselves as they work toward reachig these goals. Strivig toward success ad becomig autoomous ad resposible learers are ogoig, reflective processes that ivolve revisitig the settig ad assessmet of persoal goals. Middle Years Educatio Middle Years educatio is defied as the educatio provided for youg adolescets i Grades 5, 6, 7, ad 8. Middle Years learers are i a period of rapid physical, emotioal, social, moral, ad cogitive developmet. Socializatio is very importat to Middle Years studets, ad collaborative learig, positive role models, approval of sigificat adults i their lives, ad a sese of commuity ad belogig greatly ehace adolescets egagemet i learig ad commitmet to school. It is importat to provide studets with a egagig ad social eviromet withi which to explore mathematics ad to costruct meaig. Adolescece is a time of rapid brai developmet whe cocrete thikig progresses to abstract thikig. Although higher-order thikig ad problem-solvig abilities develop durig the Middle Years, cocrete, exploratory, ad experietial learig is most egagig to adolescets. * I this documet, the term parets refers to both parets ad guardias ad is used with the recogitio that i some cases oly oe paret may be ivolved i a child s educatio. Itroductio 3

16 Middle Years studets seek to establish their idepedece ad are most egaged whe their learig experieces provide them with a voice ad choice. Persoal goal settig, co-costructio of assessmet criteria, ad participatio i assessmet, evaluatio, ad reportig help adolescets take owership of their learig. Clear, descriptive, ad timely feedback ca provide importat iformatio to the mathematics studet. Askig ope-eded questios, acceptig multiple solutios, ad havig studets develop persoal strategies will help studets to develop their mathematical idepedece. Adolescets who see the coectios betwee themselves ad their learig, ad betwee the learig iside the classroom ad life outside the classroom, are more motivated ad egaged i their learig tha those who do ot observe these coectios. Adolescets thrive o challeges i their learig, but their sesitivity at this age makes them proe to discouragemet if the challeges seem uattaiable. Differetiated istructio allows teachers to tailor learig challeges to adolescets idividual eeds, stregths, ad iterests. It is importat to focus istructio o where studets are ad to see every cotributio as valuable. The eergy, ethusiasm, ad ufoldig potetial of youg adolescets provide both challeges ad rewards to educators. Those educators who have a sese of humour ad who see the woderful potetial ad possibilities of each youg adolescet will fid teachig i the Middle Years excitig ad fulfillig. Mathematics Educatio Goals for Studets The mai goals of mathematics educatio are to prepare studets to use mathematics cofidetly to solve problems commuicate ad reaso mathematically appreciate ad value mathematics make coectios betwee mathematics ad its applicatios commit themselves to lifelog learig become mathematically literate adults, usig mathematics to cotribute to society Studets who have met these goals will gai uderstadig ad appreciatio of the cotributios of mathematics as a sciece, a philosophy, ad a art exhibit a positive attitude toward mathematics egage ad persevere i mathematical tasks ad projects cotribute to mathematical discussios take risks i performig mathematical tasks exhibit curiosity 4 Grade 7 Mathematics: Support Documet for Teachers

18 The commo curriculum framework icorporates these seve iterrelated mathematical processes, which are iteded to permeate teachig ad learig: Commuicatio [C]: Studets commuicate daily (orally, through diagrams ad pictures, ad by writig) about their mathematics learig. This eables them to reflect, to validate, ad to clarify their thikig. Jourals ad learig logs ca be used as a record of studet iterpretatios of mathematical meaigs ad ideas. Coectios [CN]: Mathematics should be viewed as a itegrated whole, rather tha as the study of separate strads or uits. Coectios must also be made betwee ad amog the differet represetatioal modes cocrete, pictorial, ad symbolic (the symbolic mode cosists of oral ad writte word symbols as well as mathematical symbols). The process of makig coectios, i tur, facilitates learig. Cocepts ad skills should also be coected to everyday situatios ad other curricular areas. Metal Mathematics ad Estimatio [ME]: The skill of estimatio requires a soud kowledge of metal mathematics. Both are ecessary to may everyday experieces, ad studets should be provided with frequet opportuities to practise these skills. Problem Solvig [PS]: Studets are exposed to a wide variety of problems i all areas of mathematics. They explore a variety of methods for solvig ad verifyig problems. I additio, they are challeged to fid multiple solutios for problems ad to create their ow problems. Reasoig [R]: Mathematics reasoig ivolves iformal thikig, cojecturig, ad validatig these help studets uderstad that mathematics makes sese. Studets are ecouraged to justify, i a variety of ways, their solutios, thikig processes, ad hypotheses. I fact, good reasoig is as importat as fidig correct aswers. Techology [T]: The use of calculators is recommeded to ehace problem solvig, to ecourage discovery of umber patters, ad to reiforce coceptual developmet ad umerical relatioships. They do ot, however, replace the developmet of umber cocepts ad skills. Carefully chose computer software ca provide iterestig problem-solvig situatios ad applicatios. Visualizatio [V]: Metal images help studets to develop cocepts ad to uderstad procedures. Studets clarify their uderstadig of mathematical ideas through images ad explaatios. These processes are outlied i detail i Kidergarte to Grade 8 Mathematics: Maitoba Curriculum Framework of Outcomes. 6 Grade 7 Mathematics: Support Documet for Teachers

19 Strads The learig outcomes i the Maitoba curriculum framework are orgaized ito four strads across Kidergarte to Grade 9. Some strads are further subdivided ito substrads. There is oe geeral learig outcome per substrad across Kidergarte to Grade 9. The strads ad substrads, icludig the geeral learig outcome for each, follow. Number Develop umber sese. Patters ad Relatios Patters Use patters to describe the world ad solve problems. Variables ad Equatios Represet algebraic expressios i multiple ways. Shape ad Space Measuremet Use direct ad idirect measure to solve problems. 3-D Objects ad 2-D Shapes Describe the characteristics of 3-D objects ad 2-D shapes, ad aalyze the relatioships amog them. Trasformatios Describe ad aalyze positio ad motio of objects ad shapes. Statistics ad Probability Data Aalysis Collect, display, ad aalyze data to solve problems. Chace ad Ucertaity Use experimetal or theoretical probabilities to represet ad solve problems ivolvig ucertaity. Itroductio 7

20 Learig Outcomes ad Achievemet Idicators The Maitoba curriculum framework is stated i terms of geeral learig outcomes, specific learig outcomes, ad achievemet idicators: Geeral learig outcomes are overarchig statemets about what studets are expected to lear i each strad/substrad. The geeral learig outcome for each strad/substrad is the same throughout the grades from Kidergarte to Grade 9. Specific learig outcomes are statemets that idetify the specific skills, uderstadig, ad kowledge studets are required to attai by the ed of a give grade. Achievemet idicators are oe example of a represetative list of the depth, breadth, ad expectatios for the outcome. Achievemet idicators are pedagogyad cotext-free. I this documet, the word icludig idicates that ay esuig items must be addressed to meet the learig outcome fully. The phrase such as idicates that the esuig items are provided for illustrative purposes or clarificatio, ad are ot requiremets that must be addressed to meet the learig outcome fully. Summary The coceptual framework for Kidergarte to Grade 9 mathematics describes the ature of mathematics, the mathematical processes, ad the mathematical cocepts to be addressed i Kidergarte to Grade 9 mathematics. The compoets are ot meat to stad aloe. Learig activities that take place i the mathematics classroom should stem from a problem-solvig approach, be based o mathematical processes, ad lead studets to a uderstadig of the ature of mathematics through specific kowledge, skills, ad attitudes amog ad betwee strads. Grade 7 Mathematics: Support Documet for Teachers is meat to support teachers to create meaigful learig activities that focus o formative assessmet ad studet egagemet. 8 Grade 7 Mathematics: Support Documet for Teachers

21 Assessmet Authetic assessmet ad feedback are a drivig force for the suggestios for assessmet i this documet. The purposes of the suggested assessmet activities ad strategies are to parallel those foud i Rethikig Classroom Assessmet with Purpose i Mid: Assessmet for Learig, Assessmet as Learig, Assessmet of Learig (Maitoba Educatio, Citizeship ad Youth). These iclude the followig: assessig for, as, ad of learig ehacig studet learig assessig studets effectively, efficietly, ad fairly providig educators with a startig poit for reflectio, deliberatio, discussio, ad learig Assessmet for learig is desiged to give teachers iformatio to modify ad differetiate teachig ad learig activities. It ackowledges that idividual studets lear i idiosycratic ways, but it also recogizes that there are predictable patters ad pathways that may studets follow. It requires careful desig o the part of teachers so that they use the resultig iformatio to determie ot oly what studets kow, but also to gai isights ito how, whe, ad whether studets apply what they kow. Teachers ca also use this iformatio to streamlie ad target istructio ad resources, ad to provide feedback to studets to help them advace their learig. Assessmet as learig is a process of developig ad supportig metacogitio for studets. It focuses o the role of the studet as the critical coector betwee assessmet ad learig. Whe studets are active, egaged, ad critical assessors, they make sese of iformatio, relate it to prior kowledge, ad use it for ew learig. This is the regulatory process i metacogitio. It occurs whe studets moitor their ow learig ad use the feedback from this moitorig to make adjustmets, adaptatios, ad eve major chages i what they uderstad. It requires that teachers help studets develop, practise, ad become comfortable with reflectio, ad with a critical aalysis of their ow learig. Assessmet of learig is summative i ature ad is used to cofirm what studets kow ad ca do, to demostrate whether they have achieved the curriculum learig outcomes, ad, occasioally, to show how they are placed i relatio to others.

31 Backgroud Iformatio Divisibility A divided is cosidered to be divisible by a divisor if it ca be divided by that divisor to make a quotiet that is a whole umber (with o remaiders). Example: 36 is divisible by 4 because it gives 9 sets, with o remaiders. If a divided is divisible by a divisor, that divisor is a factor of the divided. Example: Sice 36 is divisible by 4, 4 is a factor of 36. Sice the divisor is a factor of the divided, the divided is a multiple of the divisor. Example: Sice 4 is a factor of 36, 36 is a multiple of 4. If a umber is divisible by more tha two factors, it is also divisible by the product of ay combiatio of its prime factors.* Example: 36 is divisible by both 2 ad 3. 2 ad 3 are both prime factors, so 36 is also divisible by 6, the product of those two prime factors (2 3 = 6). A clear grasp of divisibility is fudametal to achievig may other learig outcomes. It helps studets to idetify factors ad * Note: I Grade 7, studets are ot formally exposed to prime factorizatio. It is a achievemet idicator i Grade 8 Mathematics i the study of squares ad square roots, ad a learig outcome i Grade 10 Itroductio to Applied ad Pre-Calculus Mathematics. uderstad relatioships betwee umbers. It makes it easier for them to solve problems, sort umbers, work with fractios, uderstad percets ad ratios, ad work with algebraic equatios. Whe studets ca idetify factors with ease, they ca readily idetify prime ad composite umbers, idetify commo factors ad multiples, ad fid both the greatest commo factors ad the least commo multiples. Uderstadig divisibility ehaces studets ability to reame fractios with commo deomiators ad to represet fractios i lowest terms, thereby makig it easier for them to compare fractios ad to perform operatios with fractios. If studets uderstad place value ad have facility i usig metal mathematics strategies ad facts, it will be easier for them to fid patters i multiples of factors, to add the digits of multiples, ad to recogize umbers that are divisible by a particular factor. Proficiecy with these skills will help studets to discover divisibility rules, uderstad ad explai why divisibility rules work, ad use divisibility rules effectively to determie divisibility. Number 5

32 Uderstadig divisibility rules ad the reasos why the rules work icreases studets umber sese ad their uderstadig of our umber system ad patters withi the system. Explorig these relatioships ad developig divisibility rules or explaatios for the rules ca be challegig ad time-cosumig, but will provide studets with rich opportuities to practise the mathematical processes of problem solvig, reasoig, makig coectios, ad commuicatig. Whe selectig learig experieces, verify that studets have the required backgroud kowledge ad skills, clearly outlie the tasks ad expectatios, provide a warm-up learig activity with the simpler factors (e.g., 2, 5, 10), ad provide appropriate hits to guide studet discovery without beig prescriptive. Divisibility Rules Below are some possible divisibility rules for commo factors, alog with explaatios ad examples. Provide studets with opportuities to make their ow discoveries ad to develop their uderstadig through learig experieces, rather tha askig them to memorize the divisibility rules. Divisible by 2 The umber is eve. OR The fial digits are 2, 4, 6, 8, or 0. 3 The sum of the digits is divisible by 3. Cotiually addig the digits util you ed up with a sigle digit will ultimately result i a total of 3, 6, or 9. Divisibility Rules for Commo Factors Rule Explaatio Examples ad No-examples Eve umbers are composed of groups of 2. Therefore, it is ecessary oly to examie the uits (or oes) place whe determiig divisibility by 2. Use place value ad the logic of remaiders. Each hudred ca be divided ito 33 groups of 3 ad leaves 1 uit remaiig. Each te divides ito three groups of 3 ad leaves 1 uit remaiig. The oes are already idividual uits. Add all the remaiig uits (or remaiders). If this sum divides evely by 3, the origial umber is divisible by is divisible by 2 because the digit i the uits place (8) is eve. 89 is ot divisible by 2 because the digit i the uits place (9) is odd. 351 is divisible by 3 because dividig 3 hudreds by 3 leaves 3 uits remaiig, 5 tes leaves 5 uits remaiig, ad 1 uit is the remaider i the uits place. Add up the remaiders: = 9. Sice the remaiders are divisible by 3, the etire umber is divisible by is ot divisible by 3 because dividig 2 hudreds by 3 leaves 2 uits remaiig, 3 tes leaves 3 uits remaiig, ad 8 uits are the uits remaider. Add up the remaiders: = 13; = 4. Sice 4 is ot divisible by 3, the etire umber is ot. (cotiued) 6 Grade 7 Mathematics: Support Documet for Teachers

33 Divisible by 4 The umber formed by the fial two digits is divisible by 4. OR The umber formed by the fial two digits is divisible by 2 twice. 5 The fial digit is 0 or 5. 6 The umber is eve ad divisible by 3. OR The umber has both 2 ad 3 as factors (is divisible by both 2 ad 3). 8 The umber formed by the fial three digits is divisible by 8. OR The umber formed by the fial three digits is divisible by 2 three times. Divisibility Rules for Commo Factors (cotiued) Rule Explaatio Examples ad No-examples Use place value logic. 100 is the smallest place value positio divisible by 4 (100 4 = 25). Ay umber greater tha 100 ca be expressed as x umber of hudreds. Therefore, oly the umber formed by the digits i the tes ad uits places must be examied. Use place value logic. Every group of 10 forms two groups of 5. Therefore, it is ecessary oly to examie the uits (or oes) place whe determiig divisibility by 5. If the umber is divisible by both the prime factors 2 ad 3, it must also be divisible by 6 because two groups of 3 make a group of 6. Use place value logic is the smallest place value positio divisible by 8 ( = 125). Ay umber larger tha 1000 ca be expressed as x umber of thousads. Therefore, oly the umber formed by the digits i the hudreds, tes, ad uits places must be examied. 524 is divisible by 4 because 100 is divisible by 4, ad so is divisible by 4, ad 24 is divisible by is ot divisible by 4. Although is divisible by 4, 90 is ot divisible by 2 twice (ot divisible by 4). 130 is divisible by 5 because the digit i the oes place (0) is 0 or is ot divisible by 5 because the digit i the oes place (9) is ot 0 or is divisible by 6 because it is divisible by both 2 (it is a eve umber) ad 3 (the sum of its digits is divisible by 3). 153 is ot divisible by 6 because it is ot divisible by 2 (it is a odd umber), but it is divisible by 3 (the sum of its digits is divisible by 3) is divisible by 8 because 480 is divisible by 2 three times (480 2 = 240; = 120; = 60) is ot divisible by 8 because 220 is ot divisible by 8. (cotiued) Number 7

34 Divisible by 9 The sum of the digits is divisible by 9. OR The umber is divisible by 3 twice. Divisibility Rules for Commo Factors (cotiued) Rule Explaatio Examples ad No-examples Use place value ad the logic of remaiders. Each hudred ca be divided ito 11 groups of 9 ad leaves 1 uit remaiig. Each te divides ito oe group of 9 ad leaves 1 uit remaiig. The oes are already idividual uits. Add all the remaiig uits (or remaiders). If this sum divides evely by 9, the origial umber is divisible by The fial digit is 0. All writte multiples of 10 ed i 0. The followig are ways to show a umber caot be divided by zero: 351 is divisible by 9 because dividig 3 hudreds by 9 leaves 3 uits remaiig, 5 tes leaves 5 uits remaiig, ad 1 uit is the remaider i the uits place. Add up the remaiders: = 9. Sice the remaiders are divisible by 9, the etire umber is. 418 is ot divisible by 9 because dividig 4 hudreds by 9 leaves 4 uits remaiig, 1 te leaves 1 uit remaiig, ad 8 uits are the remaider i the uits place. Add up the remaiders: = 13. Sice 13 is ot divisible by 9, the etire umber is ot. 130 is divisible by 10 because the digit i the oes place (0) is is ot divisible by 10 because the digit i the oes place (9) is ot 0. Usig a calculator to divide a umber by zero results i a error message. Applyig the actio of divisio results i a impossible situatio. Example: If you have a quatity x, how may groups of zero ca you make? You would be tryig to make groups of zero forever. If you had to share a quatity ito zero groups, you would have o groups to share the quatity with. Both scearios are impossible. Usig the patter ad logic of related facts provides o solutio to dividig by zero. Multiplicatio ad divisio are iverse operatios. Thik of related statemets such as the followig: 4 2 = 8 ad 8 2 = 4 0? = 8 ad 8 0 =? (There is o aswer.) 8 Grade 7 Mathematics: Support Documet for Teachers
