Georgia CurriculumStandards GPS to CCGPS 2011-2012 – GPS 2012-2013 – CCGPS Transition Year 2013-2014 - CCGPS About the Common Core State Standards *Led by National Governors Association (NGA) and Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) *Co-chaired by Governor Perdue *Developed by standards experts and educators *Supported by rigorous international standards *Received multiple rounds of feedback from states and national organizations representing educators {e.g., International Reading Association (IRA), National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE)}
Content standards for Grade 7 are arranged within the following domains and clusters: The Number System • Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers. Expressions and Equations • Use properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions. • Solve real‐life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations. Ratios and Proportional Relationships • Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real‐world and mathematical problems. Geometry • Draw, construct and describe geometrical figures and describe the relationships between them. • Solve real‐life and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, surface area, and volume. Statistics and Probability • Use random sampling to draw inferences about a population. • Draw informal comparative inferences about two populations. • Investigate chance processes and develop, use, and evaluate probability models
7th Grade Units: Unit 1: Operations with Rational Numbers Unit 2: Expressions and Equations Unit 3: Ratios and Proportional Relationships Unit 4: Statistics Unit 5: Geometry Unit 6: Probability
Daily Deal Students have homework EVERY night! ALL work must be shown on assignments Homework may be turned in late, but points may be deducted. The MATHia Module must be completed for each unit. Math teachers are available before and after school for help, and Trojan University is available.
Our New Curriculum isfrom Carnegie Learning This curriculum has four volumes. We will be tearing out one unit at a time, and placing it in a three ring binder. Carnegie Resource Center - Login Page **If a page is lost or misplaced, it can be printed from this site.
Parent Supports • Embedded Instructional Strategies (worked examples, peer analysis, graphic organizers) • Chapter Summaries with Worked-Out Problems • Academic Glossary • Student /Parent Access to the Resource Center • Online Help with MATHia • Online Access to Text Materials • Skills Practice Books • Available on the Resource Center • Answers to Odd Problems of Skills Practice on Resource Center • Access to Help Desk

What else can you do as a parent? • Talk with your child! • Ask about the specific mathematics they are learning in the classroom and lab. • Give me an example of what you did today. • Did anyone solve it in a different way from you? • I understand you don’t want to write in math class, but I have to write things all the time in my job/business/organization/life. We don’t get to separate these things in life. • Talk with teachers about the quality of the work your student is completing. • Celebrate hard work! • It’s not just about making an A – celebrate perseverance and effort! • Be aware of the progress your student is making and celebrate with them. • Remind them they can get better in math with practice – just like we get better at anything else with practice! • Promote the importance of understanding math – not just doing it!
MATHia • This is the online software that mirrors the text covered in class. • Teachers can track objectives mastered for every student individually with this software. • This can be accessed from any computer, but Adobe flash and Java 7 are required. • Suggested browsers are Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
