• Gr 7 outcomes/indicators
  

Math has four broad themes, each of which has many specific skills. You can view them at the Ministry of Education's website. The categories are:

• Number - divisibility rules, relating positive fractions, decimals and percents, operations with integers
• Patterns and Relations - linear relations (algebraic expressions and equations), graphing
• Space and Shape - use of Pi, circles, polygons, 2D relationships - bisectors, perpendicular etc.
• Statistics and Probability - measures of central tendency (average), outliers, circle graphs, determining likelihood

Practice Quizzes

• multiple choice quizzing For students who want to test their understanding,, these short M/C quizzes are available. They're taken from material in our primary resource, Math Focus 7. Click the unit theme, listed below as the current focus, and select topic to begin.

All students have receives a license for the Mathletics website. The site can operate as an important and helpful supplement to classroom activities. Students needing to shore up current or prior learnings are strongly encouraged to use it. 

Current Theme - P7.1 -P7.4 Linear Relationships - Algebraic Reasoning The focus for the next several weeks is likely the most foundational material as students look to high school math. Linear relationships are typically stated using algebra in an expression or equation. An example is C = 3x + 9 where C is the total cost. Linear relationships can be plotted as a straight line on a grid. High school math uses symbols, formulas and relationships constantly. Here we're focusing on understanding patterns and using algebraic terms to name and solve problems. Students will extend their prior knowledge of basic arithmetic, order of operations and pattern recognition to gain a grasp of this important part of the greater math program. This material is a times very straight forward and at other times requires persistence before the light bulb turns on. It is truly important to grasp this material.
