INCOMING Grade 7:
Summary of work in grade 6
1) connecting ratio and rate to whole number multiplication and division, and using concepts of ratio and rate to solve problems
2) completing understanding of division of fractions and extending the notion of number to the system of rational numbers, which includes negative numbers
3) writing, interpreting, and using expressions and equations
4) developing understanding of statistical thinking.
Focus areas coming up in grade 7 (in addition to a thorough review of whole & rational number operations!):
1) developing understanding of and applying proportional relationships
2) developing understanding of operations with rational numbers and working with expressions and linear equations
3) solving problems involving scale drawings and informal geometric constructions, and working with two- and three-dimensional shapes to solve problems involving area, surface area, and volume
4) drawing inferences about populations based on samples.
