Mathematics grade seven standards are made up of five strands - Number Sense; Computation; Algebra and Functions; Geometry and Measurement; and Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability. The skills listed in each strand indicate what students in grade seven should know and be able to do in mathematics. Grade seven continues the trajectory towards a more formalized understanding of mathematics that occurs at the 8th grade level and into Algebra that was started in grades 5 and 6. Students extend their understanding of rational numbers to develop an understanding of irrational numbers; connect ratio and proportional reasoning to lines and linear functions; define, evaluate, compare, and model with functions; build understanding of congruence and similarity; identify and define slope as a rate of change in real-world situations; and extend their understanding of statistics and probability by investigating patterns in various kinds of data.
