Grade 7 Mathematics Course adheres to the principles that require our students to focus on fewer topics, in order to form deeper understandings, gain greater skill and fluency, and more robustly apply what is learned. Focus in this course implies, giving our students an opportunity to understand concepts and practice with them in order to reach a deep and fluent understanding. Coherence in this course means progressions that span grade levels to build students’ understanding of ever more sophisticated mathematical concepts and applications. In addition, ‘Rigor’ in this course means a combination of fluency exercises, chains of reasoning, abstract activities, and contextual activities throughout the module.
