! Common Core Math 7 Year at Glance WHAT STUDENTS LEARN IN SEVENTH GRADE Grade 7 CA Framework Draft Overview In grade seven instructional time should focus on four critical areas: (1) developing understanding of and applying proportional relationships, including percentages; (2) developing understanding of operations with rational numbers and working with expressions and linear equations; (3) solving problems involving scale drawings and informal geometric constructions and working with two- and three-dimensional shapes to solve problems involving area, surface area, and volume; and (4) drawing inferences about populations based on samples. Students also work towards fluently solving equations of the form px + q = r and p(x + q) = r. (1) Students extend their understanding of ratios and develop understanding of proportionality to solve single- and multi-step problems. Students use their understanding of ratios and proportionality to solve a wide variety of percent problems, including those involving discounts, interest, taxes, tips, and percent increase or decrease. Students solve problems about scale drawings by relating corresponding lengths between the objects or by using the fact that relationships of lengths within an object are preserved in similar objects. Students graph proportional relationships and understand the unit rate informally as a measure of the steepness of the related line, called the slope. They distinguish proportional relationships from other relationships. (2) Students develop a unified understanding of number, recognizing fractions, decimals (that have a finite or a repeating decimal representation), and percents as different representations of rational numbers. Students extend addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to all rational numbers, maintaining the properties of operations and the relationships between addition and subtraction and multiplication and division. By applying these properties, and by viewing negative numbers in terms of everyday contexts (e.g., amounts owed or temperatures below zero), students explain and interpret the rules for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing with negative numbers. They use the arithmetic of rational numbers as they formulate expressions and equations in one variable and use these equations to solve problems. (3) Students continue their work with area from grade six, solving problems involving the area and circumference of a circle and surface area of three-dimensional objects. In preparation for work on congruence and similarity in grade eight they reason about relationships among two-dimensional figures using scale drawings and informal geometric constructions, and they gain familiarity with the relationships between angles formed by intersecting lines. Students work with three-dimensional figures, relating them to two-dimensional figures by examining cross-sections. They solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, surface area, and volume of two- and three-dimensional objects composed of triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, cubes, and right prisms.

(4) Students build on their previous work with single data distributions to compare two data distributions and address questions about differences between populations. They begin informal work with random sampling to generate data sets and learn about the importance of representative samples for drawing inferences (The Common Core State Standards Initiative [CCSSI] 2010, Grade 7 Introduction). Essential Learning for the Next Grade In middle school, multiplication and division develop into powerful forms of ratio and proportional reasoning. The properties of operations take on prominence as arithmetic matures into algebra. The theme of quantitative relationships also becomes explicit in grades six through eight, developing into the formal notion of a function by grade eight. Meanwhile, the foundations of high school deductive geometry are laid in the middle grades. The gradual development of data representations in kindergarten through grade five leads to statistics in middle school: the study of shape, center, and spread of data distributions; possible associations between two variables; and the use of sampling in making statistical decisions (Adapted from PARCC 2012). To be prepared for grade eight mathematics students should be able to demonstrate they have acquired certain mathematical concepts and procedural skills by the end of grade seven and have met the fluency expectations for the grade seven. Seventh grade students are expected to fluently solve equations of the form px + q = r and p(x + q) = r (7.EE.4 ), which also requires fluency with rational number arithmetic (7.NS.1 3 ), as well as fluency to some extent with applying properties operations to rewrite linear expressions with rational coefficients (7.EE.1 ). Also adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing rational numbers (7.NS.1 2 ) is the culmination of numerical work with the four basic operations. The number system will continue to develop in grade eight, expanding to become the real numbers by the introduction of irrational numbers, and will develop further in high school, expanding to become the complex numbers with the introduction of imaginary numbers. Because there are no specific standards for rational number arithmetic in later grades and because so much other work in grade seven depends on rational number arithmetic, fluency with rational number arithmetic should also be the goal in grade seven. These fluencies and the conceptual understandings that support them are foundational for work in grade eight. Of particular importance for students to attain in grade seven are skills and understandings to analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems (7.RP.1-3 ); apply and extend previous understanding of operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers (7.NS.1-3 ); use properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions (7.EE.1-2 ); and solve real-life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations (7.EE.3-4 ).
