MTH07 Summit Math 7 FL (M/J Grade 7 Mathematics)
2 COURSE DESCRIPTION
In K12’s Grade 7 mathematics course, students focus on real-word scenarios and mathematical
problems involving algebraic expressions and linear equations and begin to apply their understanding of
rational numbers with increased complexity. The course lays the foundation for exploring concepts of
angle, similarity and congruence, more formally addressed in Grade 8, as students work with scale
drawings and construct and analyze relationships among geometric figures. Students also develop and
apply understandings of proportional relationships.

5 COURSE OUTLINE
SEMESTER 1
Let’s start at the very beginning; it’s a very good place to start. Just as you need to know basic grammar
and vocabulary as you begin to learn any language, you need to know some basic building blocks as you
begin to learn algebra.
Course Introduction
Order of Operations
Variable Expressions
Write Expressions for Word Phrases
Related Equations
Solve Problems
Word Problems
Interpret Expressions
Stock prices rise and fall all day long. These changes are important to investors and to investment firms.
Each rise or fall can be understood in terms of subtraction, with the hope that the end result adds to the
investors’ or the companies’ bottom line.
More than 200,000 zebras migrate between the Serengeti in Tanzania and the Maasai Mara in Kenya
every year. How many will make it across the Mara River, and how long will it take them? Scientists use
operations with rational numbers to understand zebra behavior and health.

Many real-world problems are modeled by complex numerical expressions. A numerical expression
modeling a situation may have multiple operations, with a combination of integers, mixed numbers,
fractions, and decimals. To solve the problem, you have to know how to simplify the numerical
expression modeling the problem.
Engines mix air and fuel so they can have the perfect combustible mixture. Each mixture can be
described with a ratio that represents the mix of fuel and air it contains. Using the correct ratio to get
the mix right is important for an engine’s performance and efficiency.
Model builders use proportions to figure out the length of every item in their models. For the model to
be accurate, every length needs to be in the same proportion to the original object.
Proportion
Identify Proportional Relationships
Graph Proportional Relationships
Constant of Proportionality and Unit Rate
Equations and Proportional Relationships 1
Equations and Proportional Relationships 2
Proportional Relationship Applications
SEMESTER 2
Solving equations requires balance. Anything you do that changes the value of one side of the equation
has to be done to the other side. Keep your equations balanced and you’ll have a rock-solid foundation.

You can find geometric shapes, including triangles and parallel lines, in art. Artists need to understand
angles and shapes to create beautiful objects and to solve practical problems.

Many shipping containers are shaped like boxes (rectangular prisms), with consistent volume and
surface area. People who have to fill, move, or even paint these containers need to understand volume
and surface area.

Unit 4: Statistics
Data are everywhere. When you look at a group of people, you could use many numbers to describe
them. How tall are they? How long is their hair? How old are they? What is their gender? What color are
their eyes? Statistics help you make sense of data.
Measures of Center
Measures of Variability
Sampling
Draw Inferences from Samples 1
Draw Inferences from Samples 2
Multiple Samples from a Population
Compare Line Plots
Use Statistical Measures
Unit 5: Probability
What is the chance of hitting a bull's-eye? What about the chance of hitting a certain region of the target
three times in a row? The tools of probability can help you make sense of situations that have an
element of luck or chance.
Have you ever looked online for something you wanted to buy or do and seen offers for package deals?
In a package deal, multiple items are offered together for a single price. Maybe you’ve also seen these
offers on television or in newspaper flyers. Do these offers save the consumer money? For this project,
you will analyze a package deal of your choosing.
