COURSE DESCRIPTION

The grade 7 math course builds on topics explored in grade 6 math. Students are challenged with growing their knowledge in the following subjects.
1 – Numbers
2 – Algebra
3 – Data
4 – Spatial Sense
5 – Financial Literacy
6 – Social emotional skills and math processes
Working with numbers up to 1 billion, students are introduced to rational numbers, such as perfect squares and square roots. They are expected to know multiplication facts from 0 × 0 to 12 × 12. Students connect their understanding of whole-number patterns to patterns involving decimals. Students learn how to use circle graphs to represent data. They begin to develop a critical eye for analyzing data by examining graphs that may be misleading. Students continue to develop spatial sense as they study the circle. Students learn to measure various aspects of circles, such as circumference, diameter radius, and area. Students begin to learn that international currencies have different values compared to Canadian dollars and understand how exchange rates work. Students learn how to cope with stress and manage complex challenges.
