Grade 7
Grade 7 is where proportional reasoning becomes the organising idea across mathematics and science alike. Probability appears formally, geometry becomes computational, and writing is expected to sustain an argument across several paragraphs with cited support.
Mathematics
Proportional Relationships
Decide whether two quantities vary in proportion, read the constant of proportionality off a table, graph or equation, and work through multi-stage percent problems.
Operations with Rational Numbers
Add, subtract, multiply and divide positive and negative rational numbers, and apply the properties of operations.
Science
Chemical Reactions
Middle school band (grades 6-8): analyze evidence that a chemical reaction has occurred, and show that atoms are conserved when substances change.
English Language Arts
Argument Writing with Evidence
Write arguments that support a claim with logical reasoning and relevant evidence, and acknowledge opposing claims.
Social Studies
World Civilizations
History, grades 6-8 band: examine ancient and classical civilizations, their institutions and beliefs, and the evidence historians use.
Technology and Computer Science
Data, Representation and Analysis
Level 2 (grades 6-8): represent data in binary, organize and clean a data set, and use models and visualizations to answer a question.
