7th Grade Mathematics: Mathematical Relationships
In the Year of Discovery, 7th-grade math marks a pivotal shift from foundational arithmetic to Proportional Reasoning. Students move beyond basic calculations to explore the "why" behind mathematical relationships. This course challenges scholars to investigate how numbers interact across different scales—from the depths of negative integers to the expansive logic of algebraic modeling—preparing them for the analytical rigors of 8th-grade linear functions.

Key Units
Unit 1-2: Rational Numbers. Logic of the full number line (negatives/decimals).
Unit 3: Ratios. Uncovering unit rates and constant change.
Unit 4: Percents. Real-world math: interest, tax, and markups.
Unit 5: Algebra. Solving two-step equations with variables.
Unit 6: Geometry. Circles, scale drawings, and 3D area.
Unit 7: Stats & Prob. Sampling, population inferences, and likelihood.
