GRADE 7 MATH INSTRUCTIONAL FOCUS
According to the Missouri Learning Standards (MLS), seventh grade will focus on the following four important areas:
- Developing an understanding of and applying proportional relationships.
- Developing an understanding of operations with rational numbers and working with expressions and linear equations.
- Solving problems involving scale drawings and informal geometric constructions.
- Drawing inferences about populations based on samples.

|
Use properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions
Solve real-life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations |
Draw, construct and describe geometrical figures and describe the relationships between them
Solve real-life and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, surface and volume |
Use random sampling to draw inferences about a population
Draw informal comparative inferences about two populations Investigate chance processes and develop, use and evaluate probability models |
Mathematical Practices
|
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. |
4. Model with mathematics.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically. 6. Attend to precision. |
7. Look for and make use of structure.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. |
