FIRST NINE WEEKS

 DATA ANALYSIS AND PROBABILITY

Students will demonstrate understanding of data analysis by posing questions, collecting data, analyzing the data using measures of central tendency and variation, and using the data to answer the questions posed. Students will understand the role of probability in sampling.

M7D1. Students will pose questions, collect data, represent and analyze the data, and interpret results.

a. Formulate questions and collect data from a census of at least 30 objects and

from samples of varying sizes.

b. Construct frequency distributions.

c. Analyze data using measures of central tendency (mean, median, and mode)

 d. Analyze data with respect to measures of variation (range, quartiles, interquartile range) 

including recognition of outliers. 

e. Compare measures of central tendency and variation from samples to those

from a census. Observe that sample statistics are more likely to approximate

the population parameters as sample size increases.

f. Analyze data using appropriate graphs, including pictographs, histograms, bar

graphs, line graphs, circle graphs, and line plots introduced earlier, and using

box and- whisker plots and scatter plots.

g. Analyze and draw conclusions about data, including describing the

relationship between two variables.

ALGEBRA

Students will demonstrate an understanding of linear relations and fundamental algebraic concepts.

M7A1. Students will represent and evaluate quantities using algebraic expressions. 

 

a. Translate verbal phrases to algebraic expressions.

b. Simplify and evaluate algebraic expressions, using commutative, associative, and distributive properties as appropriate.

c. Add and subtract linear expressions.

M7A2. Students will understand and apply linear equations in one variable.

a. Given a problem, define a variable, write an equation, solve the equation, and

interpret the solution.

b. Use the addition and multiplication properties of equality to solve one- and

two-step linear equations.

M7A3. Students will understand relationships between two variables.

a. Plot points on a coordinate plane.

b. Represent, describe, and analyze relations from tables, graphs, and formulas.

c. Describe how change in one variable affects the other variable.

 SECOND NINE WEEKS

Students will further develop their understanding of the concept of rational numbers and apply them to real world situations.

M7N1. Students will understand the meaning of positive and negative rational numbers and use them in computation.

a. Find the absolute value of a number and understand it as the distance from

zero on a number line.

b. Compare and order rational numbers, including repeating decimals.

c. Add, subtract, multiply, and divide positive and negative rational numbers.

d. Solve problems using rational numbers.

GEOMETRY

 Students will further develop and apply their understanding of plane and solid geometric figures through the use of constructions and transformations. Students will explore the properties of similarity and further develop their understanding of 3-dimensional figures.

M7G1. Students will construct plane figures that meet given conditions.

a. Perform basic constructions using both compass and straight edge, and

appropriate technology. Constructions should include copying a segment;

copying an angle; bisecting a segment; bisecting an angle; constructing

perpendicular lines, including the perpendicular bisector of a line segment; and

constructing a line parallel to a given line through a point not on the line.

b. Recognize that many constructions are based on the creation of congruent

triangles.

M7G2. Students will demonstrate understanding of transformations.

a. Demonstrate understanding of translations, dilations, rotations, reflections, and

relate symmetry to appropriate transformations.

b. Given a figure in the coordinate plane, determine the coordinates resulting

from a translation, dilation, rotation, or reflection.

THIRD NINE WEEKS

M7G3. Students will use the properties of similarity and apply these concepts to geometric figures.

a. Understand the meaning of similarity, visually compare geometric figures for

similarity, and describe similarities by listing corresponding parts.

b. Understand the relationships among scale factors, length ratios, and area ratios

between similar figures. Use scale factors, length ratios, and area ratios to

determine side lengths and areas of similar geometric figures.

c. Understand congruence of geometric figures as a special case of similarity: the figures have the same size and shape.

M7A3 d. Describe patterns in the graphs of proportional relationships, both direct (y=kx) and indirect (y=k/x).

FOURTH NINE WEEKS

 M7G4. Students will further develop their understanding of three-dimensional figures.

a. Describe three-dimensional figures formed by translations and rotations of

plane figures through space.

b. Sketch, model, and describe cross-sections of cones, cylinders, pyramids, and prisms.

 Terms/Symbols:

natural number, whole number, sign, integer, opposite, negative, positive, absolute value, term, variable, commutative property, associative property, distributive property, algebraic expression, linear equation, direct and indirect proportions, constant of proportionality (y = kx), variation, polyhedron, translation, rotation, reflection, dilation, symmetry, bisector, parallel lines, perpendicular lines, cross-section, similar, congruent, point, line, plane, line segment, endpoints, intersection, ray, parallel lines, perpendicular lines, similar, similarity, rate, scale drawings, corresponding sides, corresponding angles, congruent, diagonal, algebraic expression, commutative property, associative property, distributive property, direct variation, inverse variation, inversely proportional, mean, median, mode, range, quartile, interquartile range, outlier, histogram, scatter plot, line plot, box-and-whisker plot, ≅, ~, ≈, ||, ⊥, ∠.
