The Seventh Grade Math Curriculum will focus on 8 Mathematical Practices!
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them • When presented with a problem, I can make a plan, carry out my plan, and evaluate its success.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others
4. Model with mathematics • I can recognize math in everyday life and use math I know to solve everyday problems.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically • I know HOW to use math tools. • I know WHEN to use math tools. • I can reason: “Did the tool I used give me an answer that makes sense?”
7. Look for and make use of structure • I can see and understand how numbers and spaces are organized and put together as parts and wholes.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning • I can notice when calculations are repeated. Then, I can find more efficient methods and short cuts.
