Our students as St Francis will be using Big Ideas curriculum, which is based on the Common Core Standards. Students will have access to Big Ideas Math both online and in hard copy as well as other online tools such as IXL and other online proficiency tools.
The 7th Grade Common Core Standards we will focus on this year include the following:
The Number System
- Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers.
Expressions and Equations
- Use properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions.
- Solve real-life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations.
Ratios and Proportional Relationships
- Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems.
Geometry
- Draw, construct and describe geometrical figures and describe the relationships between them.
- Solve real-life and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, surface area, and volume.
Statistics and Probability
- 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.
