Welcome to 7th grade math. We are off to a great start.

The first unit of the year was numbers and operations. For our second unit we were solving algebraic equations. Our 3rd unit is Surface area and volume of 3 dimensional shapes. 

Here is the overall plan for our 7th grade year:

CMP 7

Integers (Accentuate the Negative), order of operations, square numbers, square roots, and scientific notation

Solving equations – including distributive

Filling and Wrapping

Stretching and shrinking Mini unit w/ Kaleidoscopes, hubcaps (symmetry) and angles

Comparing and Scaling Proportions/percents

What Do You Expect (Probability)

Data distribution

Moving Straight Ahead (Linear relationships)

 

 

 

Here is a link to prin some graph paper.   Graph Paper

FYI.

Here is a list of some good math websites that are useful for math skills practice, checking how to do homework and some fun games (really!).

The CMP website is quite nice.   www.phschool.com/cmp2
