Course Description

  • Course Description: The overall emphasis in this course will be on helping struggling math students with researched based interventions.  Individualized math interventions will support and assist students in improving both their math fluency and comprehension skills.  Some time will be spent on supporting the grade level standards.  

Standards taught in Grade 7 Math Intervention

  • Number and Operation 

    • 7.1.1 Read, write, represent and compare positive and negative rational numbers, expressed as integers, fractions and decimals.

    • 7.1.2 Calculate with positive and negative rational numbers, and rational numbers with whole number exponents, to solve real-world and mathematical problems.

    Algebra 

    • 7.2.2 Recognize proportional relationships in real-world and mathematical situations represent these and other relationships with tables, verbal descriptions, symbols and graphs; solve problems involving proportional relationships and explain results in the original contexts.

    • 7.2.4 Represent real-world and mathematical situations using equations with variables.  Solve equations symbolically, using the properties of equality.  Also solve equations graphically and numerically.  Interpret solutions in the original context.

    Geometry and Measurement 

    • 7.3.2 Analyze the effect of change of scale, translations and reflections on the attributes of two-dimensional figures.

    Data Analysis

    • 7.4.1 Use mean, median and range to draw conclusions about data and make predictions.
