Math 7 – Things Change: Linear Rates And Proportionality
This course will focus on number sense, proportional reasoning, and linear relationships. Students will extend their understanding of operations and properties of integers and rational numbers. They will also develop and use strategies for solving problems that involve proportional relationships. Students will build algebraic thinking as they learn to recognize various representations of linear relationships and investigate ways to solve equations.Emphasis is placed on communication in verbal and written form, creative problem-solving, and reasoning skills. Willingness to take risks and productive struggle are also major themes of the course. Inquiry-learning through projects, technology, and collaboration support the curriculum.
Math 6 – Fair vs Equal: Division, Decomposing, And Distribution
In this course, students will extend their understanding of the number system while exploring rational numbers and integers. Plus, they will make sense of algorithms for dividing fractions and decimals to explain why they work. Students will develop reasoning to solve and make sense of problems involving ratios, rates, and percents. In statistics, students will construct, interpret, and use calculation methods and models to describe distribution and variability.Emphasis is placed on communication in verbal and written form, creative problem-solving, and reasoning skills. Willingness to take risks and productive struggle are also major themes of the course. Inquiry-learning through projects, technology, and collaboration support the curriculum.
