Cherokee County Schools
Mathematics Course of Study
Grade 7
Students in seventh grade display a wide range of differences in intellectual development and emotional maturity. As students mature, they experiment with new mathematical approaches and concepts. The seventh-grade mathematics classroom environment encourages communication, exploration, and risk taking that are critical as students become more confident and learn to exist in an ever-changing world.
The seventh-grade curriculum addresses a number of important mathematical concepts. One of the key topics is rational number operations. Seventh-grade students become fluent in rational number operations and establish skills needed to become successful problem solvers. Solving equations is another major focus of the curriculum as students prepare for further study of algebra. Students continue to engage in thoughtful activities, using hands-on materials and technology to explore important mathematical concepts included in the seventh-grade curriculum.
Please use this document to plan mathematics lessons. The content standards define what students should know and be able to do at the conclusion of the course or grade. The order in which standards are listed within a course or grade is not intended to convey a sequence for instruction. Each standard is aligned with the appropriate student assessment and correlated with textbooks adopted by Cherokee County Schools. Bullets denote content that is related to the standards and required for instruction. Examples clarify certain components of content standards or bullets and are not exhaustive. Technology is integrated throughout the document.
