Curriculum & Grade 4: Pacing Mathematics Guide Grade 7: Pre-Algebra Martinsville City Public Schools Revised Summer 2011 Updated Summer 2012 TJV
Martinsville City Public Schools Plan of Action The Martinsville City Public Schools Curriculum Guide was developed using the Standards of Learning for Virginia Public Schools and the State Curriculum work. Also, an emphasis was placed on the integration of 21 st Century Skills into all areas of K-12 education. Martinsville City Public Schools believes that to compete in a global community, all children must develop lifelong independent skills that demonstrate initiative, self direction, and the ability to problem-solve, innovate and create, and communicate by writing and speaking effectively. To provide an avenue for students to develop these important qualifications and provide a more rigorous learning environment, Martinsville City Public Schools encourages problem-based learning in all classrooms. The collaboration between students in this type of learning environment develops skills in leadership, accountability, social, and cross-cultural understanding as they communicate and think critically to problem-solve real world applications of the curriculum. Martinsville City Public Schools Core curriculum prepares students to achieve these 21 st Century skills through competent cross- curricular activities that apply knowledge of concepts learned in other areas of study and in the community. Standard benchmark along with project-based and end of year SOL tests are administered to ensure mastery of the concepts. PALS are used to ensure proficiency in Reading for grades Pre-K through Eight. To further ensure that all students learn to the best of their abilities, a Response to Intervention (RtI) system, using and STAR Reading, is in place to guide classroom instruction, screen and progress monitor students so that intervention and enrichment activities are scheduled based on the students individual needs throughout the year. Curriculum Guide OVERVIEW The Martinsville City Public Schools Curriculum Guide is designed to provide a reference document for each subject and grade level that indicates The Curriculum s Big Ideas, Strategies, Model lessons, & Instruments and suggested time frames to be used as a Guide for classroom instruction. In addition, Learning Targets at a Glance contains an overview of the curriculum taught for each grading for each st subject and grade level. 21 Century Internet Safety procedures are listed, and for Grades Three through Twelve, an SOL Testing Blueprint Target is included to give insight to the strands that will receive the most focus on the SOL s. Two symbols will be used to denote the 21st Century Focus: This symbol is used through to denote a 21 This symbol is used throughout to denote a 21 st Century Global Connection. st Century skill.
Learning Overview The Seventh Grade student will be provided many opportunities to engage in experiences involving problem solving, data collection and analysis, and algebraic thinking. The Virginia Standards of Learning provide the foundation for seventh grade mathematics. The standards are organized into 6 strands: Number/Number Sense: The focus of instruction allows students to investigate and develop an understanding of number sense by modeling numbers, using different representations. Students should develop strategies for reading, writing, and judging the size of numbers, fractions and decimals by comparing them, using a variety of models and benchmarks as ferments. Computation and Estimation: The focus of instruction allows students to develop fluency in multiplication and division with whole numbers and decimals, using models, explanation, and proficiency with basic facts and algorithms. Measurement: The focus of instruction allows students to be actively involved in measurement activities that focus on measuring objects and estimating measurements while interacting with their environment. Geometry: The focus of instruction allows students to develop and understanding about how geometric figures relate to each other and begin to use mathematical reasoning to analyze and justify properties and relationships among figures. Probability and Statistics: The focus of instructions allows students to deepen their understanding of concepts of probability by offering opportunities to set up models simulating practical events, engage students in activities to enhance understanding fairness, and activities that instill a spirit of investigation and exploration through use of manipulatives. Curriculum Big Ideas The organizing topics, big ideas, or strands under which student learning is organized and the Understandings, Knowledge and Skills students must develop in order to master these concepts (typically from the standards found in the VDOE curriculum framework). Understandings what we want students to understand about this idea, topic, or concept Knowledge What students must know in order to develop this understanding Skills What students must be able to do in order to demonstrate that understanding, strategies, and models for delivery of the curriculum. Includes suggested teaching strategies, links to model lesson plans links to frequently referenced online sites, and suggested teacher resources and where to find them (online and hard copy, such as texts, primary source documents, etc.) Examples of formative and summative for measuring student mastery of the curriculum. Includes essential questions, writing prompts, sample test items, benchmark test links, model performance-based, and other assessment resources. Standards of Learning that meet the criteria for 21 st Century skills will be identified by this symbol Standards of Learning that meet the 21st Century Learning of Global Connections will be designated with this symbol

21 st Century Internet Safety Procedures 1. Teachers should review all internet sites and links prior to using them in the classroom. During this review, teachers need to ensure the appropriateness of the content on the site. Checking for broken links and paying attention to inappropriate pop-ups or solicitations of information. 2. Teachers should circulate throughout the classroom while students are on the internet to make sure the students are on the appropriate site and are not minimizing other inappropriate sites. 3. Teachers should ically check and update any web addresses that they have on their MCPS webpage. 4. Teachers should assure that the use of these websites correlate with the objectives of the lesson and provide students with the appropriate challenges.
