HCBE MATH 7

This unit will build on what students build on what was learned in previous grades regarding mathematical properties (such as commutative, associative, and distributive properties) and conventions (such as order of operations), use these conventions and properties of operations to rewrite equivalent expressions, and interpret expressions in context. Students extend properties used with whole numbers to rational numbers in multiple formats (fractions and decimals). Students construct and solve equations and inequalities to solve contextual problems, and interpret solutions based on the context... In this unit, students will build upon the understanding of rational numbers developed in 6th grade, transitioning from exploring to ultimately formalizing rules for basic arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) with rational numbers. Using both contextual and numerical problems, students explore arithmetic combinations of negative numbers and positive..
