Mathematics

Domain - Ratios and Proportional Relationships, Grade 7

Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems.

Math.7.RP.A.2: Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities.

Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems.

Math.7.RP.A.3: Use proportional relationships to solve multi-step ratio and percent problems. Examples: simple interest, tax, markups and markdowns, gratuities and commissions, fees, percent increase and decrease, percent error.

Domain - The Number System, Grade 7

Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions.

Math.7.NS.A.2: Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers.

Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions.

Math.7.NS.A.3: Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers.(Computations with rational numbers extend the rules for manipulating fractions to complex fractions).

Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions.

Math.7.NS.A.1: Apply and extend previous understandings of addition and subtraction to add and subtract rational numbers; represent addition and subtraction on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram.

Domain - Expressions and Equations, Grade 7

Use properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions.

Math.7.EE.B.3: Solve multi-step real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form (whole numbers, fractions, and decimals), using tools strategically. Apply properties of operations to calculate with numbers in any form; convert between forms as appropriate; and assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies. For example: If a woman making $25 an hour gets a 10% raise, she will make an additional 1/10 of her salary an hour, or $2.50, for a new salary of $27.50. If you want to place a towel bar 9 3/4 inches long in the center of a door that is 27 1/2 inches wide, you will need to place the bar about 9 inches from each edge; this estimate can be used as a check on the exact computation.

Use properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions.

Math.7.EE.A.2: Understand that rewriting an expression in different forms in a problem context can shed light on the problem and how the quantities in it are related. For example, a + 0.05a = 1.05a means that “increase by 5%” is the same as “multiply by 1.05.”

Use properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions.

Math.7.EE.A.1: Apply properties of operations as strategies to add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients.

Solve real-life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations.

Math.7.EE.B.4: Use variables to represent quantities in a real-world or mathematical problem, and construct simple equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning about the quantities.

Domain - Geometry, Grade 7

Solve real-life and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, surface area, and volume.

Math.7.G.B.4: Know the formulas for the area and circumference of a circle and use them to solve problems; give an informal derivation of the relationship between the circumference and area of a circle.

Solve real-life and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, surface area, and volume.

Math.7.G.B.5: Use facts about supplementary, complementary, vertical, and adjacent angles in a multi-step problem to write and solve simple equations for an unknown angle in a figure.

Domain - Statistics and Probability, Grade 7

Use random sampling to draw inferences about a population.

Math.7.SP.A.1: Understand that statistics can be used to gain information about a population by examining a sample of the population; generalizations about a population from a sample are valid only if the sample is representative of that population. Understand that random sampling tends to produce representative samples and support valid inferences.

Draw informal comparative inferences about two populations.

Math.7.SP.B.4: Use measures of center and measures of variability for numerical data from random samples to draw informal comparative inferences about two populations. For example, decide whether the words in a chapter of a seventh-grade science book are generally longer than the words in a chapter of a fourth-grade science book.

Draw informal comparative inferences about two populations.

Math.7.SP.B.3: Informally assess the degree of visual overlap of two numerical data distributions with similar variabilities, measuring the difference between the centers by expressing it as a multiple of a measure of variability. For example, the mean height of players on the basketball team is 10 cm greater than the mean height of players on the soccer team, about twice the variability (mean absolute deviation) on either team; on a dot plot, the separation between the two distributions of heights is noticeable.
