|I. Course Description |

|The goal of this course is to develop an understanding of rational numbers and their operations and begin to apply that understanding to |

|equations and inequalities in order to prepare for Algebra 1. These ideas will be integrated throughout the content strands of algebra, |

|geometry, measurement, and data analysis and probability, with a focus on algebraic development. Students will also learn various problem |

|solving strategies to solve appropriate applications within the strands listed above. |

MARKING PERIOD: 1

Unit: Chapter 1 – Variables and Equations

|Common Core Standards |

|7.NS.1.d. Apply properties of operations as strategies to add and subtract rational numbers. |

|7.EE.1. Apply properties of operations as strategies to add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients. |

|7.EE.2. Understand that rewriting an expression in different forms in a problem context can shed light on the problem and how the |

|quantities in it are related. For example, a + 0.05a = 1.05a means that “increase by 5%” is the same as “multiply by 1.05.” |

|7.EE.3. Solve multi-step real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form (whole numbers,|

|fractions, and decimals), using tools strategically. Apply properties of operations to calculate with numbers in any form; convert between|

|forms as appropriate; and assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies. For example: If a woman|

|making $25 an hour gets a 10% raise, she will make an additional 1/10 of her salary an hour, or $2.50, for a new salary of $27.50. If you |

|want to place a towel bar 9 3/4 inches long in the center of a door that is 27 1/2 inches wide, you will need to place the bar about 9 |

|inches from each edge; this estimate can be used as a check on the exact computation. |

|7.EE.4.a. Solve word problems leading to equations of the form px + q = r and p(x + q) = r, where p, q, and r are specific rational |

|numbers. Solve equations of these forms fluently. Compare an algebraic solution to an arithmetic solution, identifying the sequence of the|

|operations used in each approach. For example, the perimeter of a rectangle is 54 cm. Its length is 6 cm. What is its width? |

|7.EE.4.b. Solve word problems leading to inequalities of the form px + q > r or px + q < r, where p, q, and r are specific rational |

|numbers. Graph the solution set of the inequality and interpret it in the context of the problem. For example: As a salesperson, you are |

|paid $50 per week plus $3 per sale. This week you want your pay to be at least $100. Write an inequality for the number of sales you need |

|to make, and describe the solutions. |

Unit: Chapter 7 – Ratios, Proportions, and Percents

|Common Core Standards |

|7.RP.1. Compute unit rates associated with ratios of fractions, including ratios of lengths, areas and other quantities measured in like |

|or different units. For example, if a person walks 1/2 mile in each 1/4 hour, compute the unit rate as the complex fraction 1/2/1/4 miles |

|per hour, equivalently 2 miles per hour. |

|7.RP.2.a. Decide whether two quantities are in a proportional relationship, e.g., by testing for equivalent ratios in a table or graphing |

|on a coordinate plane and observing whether the graph is a straight line through the origin. |

|7.RP.3. Use proportional relationships to solve multistep ratio and percent problems. Examples: simple interest, tax, markups and |

|markdowns, gratuities and commissions, fees, percent increase and decrease, percent error. |

|7.NS. 2.a. Understand that multiplication is extended from fractions to rational numbers by requiring that operations continue to satisfy |

|the properties of operations, particularly the distributive property, leading to products such as (–1)(–1) = 1 and the rules for |

|multiplying signed numbers. Interpret products of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts. |

|7.EE.2. Understand that rewriting an expression in different forms in a problem context can shed light on the problem and how the |

|quantities in it are related. For example, a + 0.05a = 1.05a means that “increase by 5%” is the same as “multiply by 1.05.” |

|7.EE.3. Solve multi-step real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form (whole numbers,|

|fractions, and decimals), using tools strategically. Apply properties of operations to calculate with numbers in any form; convert between|

|forms as appropriate; and assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies. For example: If a woman|

|making $25 an hour gets a 10% raise, she will make an additional 1/10 of her salary an hour, or $2.50, for a new salary of $27.50. If you |

|want to place a towel bar 9 3/4 inches long in the center of a door that is 27 1/2 inches wide, you will need to place the bar about 9 |

|inches from each edge; this estimate can be used as a check on the exact computation. |

|7.EE.4.a. Solve word problems leading to equations of the form px + q = r and p(x + q) = r, where p, q, and r are specific rational |

|numbers. Solve equations of these forms fluently. Compare an algebraic solution to an arithmetic solution, identifying the sequence of the|

|operations used in each approach. For example, the perimeter of a rectangle is 54 cm. Its length is 6 cm. What is its width? |

|7.EE.4.b. Solve word problems leading to inequalities of the form px + q > r or px + q < r, where p, q, and r are specific rational |

|numbers. Graph the solution set of the inequality and interpret it in the context of the problem. For example: As a salesperson, you are |

|paid $50 per week plus $3 per sale. This week you want your pay to be at least $100. Write an inequality for the number of sales you need |

|to make, and describe the solutions. |

|M8.D.2.1-Select and/or use a strategy to simplify an expression, solve an equation or inequality and/or check the solution for accuracy. |

|(Reference: 2.8.8.C, 2.8.8.E) |

|2.2.7.C-Create and solve word problems involving ratios, proportions, and percents including determining percentage, rate, and base. |

|2.11.7.B-Compute and compare unit rates, ratios and slopes in real world situations. |

MARKING PERIOD: 4

Unit: Chapter 12 – Data Analysis and Probability

|Common Core Standards |

|7.SP.1. Understand that statistics can be used to gain information about a population by examining a sample of the population; |

|generalizations about a population from a sample are valid only if the sample is representative of that population. Understand that random|

|sampling tends to produce representative samples and support valid inferences. |

|7.SP.2. Use data from a random sample to draw inferences about a population with an unknown characteristic of interest. Generate multiple |

|samples (or simulated samples) of the same size to gauge the variation in estimates or predictions. For example, estimate the mean word |

|length in a book by randomly sampling words from the book; predict the winner of a school election based on randomly sampled survey data. |

|Gauge how far off the estimate or prediction might be. |

|7.SP.3. Informally assess the degree of visual overlap of two numerical data distributions with similar variabilities, measuring the |

|difference between the centers by expressing it as a multiple of a measure of variability. For example, the mean height of players on the |

|basketball team is 10 cm greater than the mean height of players on the soccer team, about twice the variability (mean absolute deviation)|

|on either team; on a dot plot, the separation between the two distributions of heights is noticeable. |

|7.SP.4. Use measures of center and measures of variability for numerical data from random samples to draw informal comparative inferences |

|about two populations. For example, decide whether the words in a chapter of a seventh-grade science book are generally longer than the |

|words in a chapter of a fourth-grade science book. |

|7.SP.5. Understand that the probability of a chance event is a number between 0 and 1 that expresses the likelihood of the event |

|occurring. Larger numbers indicate greater likelihood. A probability near 0 indicates an unlikely event, a probability around 1/2 |

|indicates an event that is neither unlikely nor likely, and a probability near 1 indicates a likely event. |

|7.SP.6. Approximate the probability of a chance event by collecting data on the chance process that produces it and observing its long-run|

|relative frequency, and predict the approximate relative frequency given the probability. For example, when rolling a number cube 600 |

|times, predict that a 3 or 6 would be rolled roughly 200 times, but probably not exactly 200 times. |

|7.SP.7.a. Develop a uniform probability model by assigning equal probability to all outcomes, and use the model to determine probabilities|

|of events. For example, if a student is selected at random from a class, find the probability that Jane will be selected and the |

|probability that a girl will be selected. |

|7.SP.7.b. Develop a probability model (which may not be uniform) by observing frequencies in data generated from a chance process. For |

|example, find the approximate probability that a spinning penny will land heads up or that a tossed paper cup will land open-end down. Do |

|the outcomes for the spinning penny appear to be equally likely based on the observed frequencies? |

|7.SP.8.a. Understand that, just as with simple events, the probability of a compound event is the fraction of outcomes in the sample space|

|for which the compound event occurs. |

|7.SP.8.b. Represent sample spaces for compound events using methods such as organized lists, tables and tree diagrams. For an event |

|described in everyday language (e.g., “rolling double sixes”), identify the outcomes in the sample space which compose the event. |

|7.SP.8.c. Design and use a simulation to generate frequencies for compound events. For example, use random digits as a simulation tool to |

|approximate the answer to the question: If 40% of donors have type A blood, what is the probability that it will take at least 4 donors to|

|find one with type A blood? |

|Student Objectives: |

|In this chapter, students make-and-interpret stem and leaf plots, box-and-whisker plots, circle graphs, and line graphs. Students decide which|

|graph or plot is most appropriate for a data set. Students use tree diagrams, the counting principle, permutations, and combinations to count |

|choices or possibilities. Students apply these counting methods to find the probability and odds of simple events. Students also learn to |

|distinguish between and find the probabilities of independent and dependent events. |

| |

|At the conclusion of this chapter, students will successfully complete the following skills: |

|Make and interpret stem-and-leaf plots |

|Make and interpret box-and-whisker plots |

|Organize data using circle graphs and line graphs |

|Use counting methods to determine the number of choices |

|Use permutations to count possibilities |

|Use combinations to count possibilities |

|Find the odds in favor of events |

|Classify events as independent or dependent and then find their probabilities |
