Seventh Grade
Pittsford Central School District
HONORS Seventh Grade Mathematics Topical Outline
The topics listed below summarize the major content pieces of the grade 7 mathematics program reflecting the common core learning standards. A common final exam will be given to all seventh grade students. Instructional strategies are targeted to develop the following in our students:
Mathematical Practices
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
4. Model with mathematics.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
