iMath 7
Course Description:
Students will focus on developing an understanding of and applying proportional relationships, operations with rational numbers, and working with expressions and linear equations. We will also solve problems involving scale drawings and informal geometric constructions, and work with two and three-dimensional shapes to solve problems involving area, surface area, and volume. Students will cover the major concepts as established by the PA Core Curriculum.
Standards:
The Number System
Ratios and Proportional Relationships
Expressions and Equations
Geometry
Statistics and Probability
Mathematical Practices:
Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
Modeling with mathematics.
Use appropriate tools strategically.
Attend to precision.
Look for and make use of structure.
Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
