MCHCS Standards Checklist - Mathematics - Seventh Grade
K | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th | 7th | 8th
The content standards express what all students can and need to learn in mathematics to prepare them for the study of advanced mathematics, for science and technical careers and for post-secondary study in all content areas.
   
Number Sense Whole Numbers
  Round whole numbers to the nearest ten through million. Read and evaluate numerical expressions with exponent's. Identify powers of 10 to the degree of six.
Compare positive and negative decimals, mixed numbers, whole numbers and fractions with like and unlike denominators, using the signs >, <, and =, including scientific notation.
Determine whether a number is a prime number or a composite number, and explain the concepts of prime and composite numbers.
 

Fractions
  Identify the reciprocal of a given fraction and know that the product of a given number and its reciprocal = l.
Round fractions to the nearest whole number, ½, 1/3, ¼, 1/5, 1/8, and 1/10.
Add and subtract positive and negative mixed numbers and fractions with like and unlike denominators.
Multiply and divide positive and negative mixed numbers and fractions.
Solve problems that involve addition, subtraction, and/or multiplication with fractions and mixed numbers, with and without regrouping, that include like and unlike denominators, and express their answers in simplest form.
 
Decimals
  Read, write, and order positive and negative decimals to the nearest hundred-thousandth.
Write decimals in expanded form and write numbers in expanded form with scientific notation.
Round decimals (and decimal quotients) to the nearest whole number, tenth, hundredth, and thousandth.
Add and subtract positive and negative decimals.
Multiply and divide positive and negative decimals.
Estimate decimal sums, differences, products and quotients with rounding and verifying the solution.
 
Percents and Ratios
  Solve problems involving percent increase and decrease and with percent greater than 100 percent.
Compare two values or variables as ratios using appropriate notations such as a/b, a to b, and a:b.
Use ratios and proportions to interpret map scales and scale drawings.
Translate among percent, fractions and decimals, including repeating decimals.
 
Algebra and Functions
  Recognize variables and solve linear equations in one variable.
Write and solve equations for word problems.
Apply algebraic order of operations and commutative, associative, and distributive properties to evaluate expressions.
Plot points on a coordinate plane, using ordered pairs of positive and negative whole numbers.
Use the term's origin, x-axis, and y-axis in working with the coordinate plane.
Graph simple functions and solve problems involving use of a coordinate plane.
Demonstrate an understanding that rate is a measure of one quantity per unit value of another quantity.
Solve problems involving rates, average speed, distance, and time.
Use variables in expressions describing geometric quantities (e.g., P=2w+2l, A=1/2bh, C= d - the formulas for the perimeter of a rectangle, the area of a triangle, and the circumference of a circle, respectively).
 
Measurement and Geometry
  Associate prefixes used in metric system with quantities: kilo, hecto, deka, deci, centi, and milli.
Compare and convert units of measures for length, weight/mass, and volume within the U.S. customary system and within the metric system and estimate conversions between units in each system.
Understand the concept of a constant such as and its common estimated value (3.14, 22/7).
Know the formulas for the circumference and area of a circle.
Estimate angle measures to 30 degrees and use the appropriate tools to measure the given angles.
Identify and use signs that mean, "is congruent to", "is similar to", "is parallel to", and "is perpendicular to".
Identify angles as vertical, adjacent, complementary, or supplementary and provide descriptions of these terms.
Use the properties of complementary and supplementary angles and the sum of the angles of a triangle to solve problems involving an unknown angle.
Construct parallel lines and a parallelogram.
Know that if two lines are parallel, any line perpendicular to one is also perpendicular to the other.
Know that two lines that are both perpendicular to another line are parallel to each other.
Bisect an angle.
Construct an angle congruent to a given angle.
Construct a figure congruent to a given figure, using reflection over a line of symmetry, and identify corresponding parts.
Shows how congruent plane figures can be make to correspond through reflection, rotation, and translation.
Find the area and perimeter of a rectangle, square, triangle, and parallelogram.
Find the volume of rectangular solids and find a missing dimension given the volume.
Determine if geometric figures (quadrilaterals and triangles) are similar and write proportions to express the relationships between corresponding parts of similar figures.
 
Statistic, Data Analysis, and Probability
  Use picture, circle, bar and line graphs to interpret data.
Examine the way the data is presented for bias.
Examine the way the results were displayed and how that may have influenced the conclusions reached.
Examine the way data was gathered and how that may have influenced the conclusions reached.
Know that this is related to the probability of an event not occurring.
Understand the difference between independent and dependent events.
Predict outcomes from samples.
 
Mathematical Reasoning
  Analyze problems by identifying relationships, distinguishing relevant from irrelevant information, identifying missing information, sequencing and prioritizing information, and observing patterns.
Formulate and justify mathematical conjectures based on a general description of the mathematical question or problem posed.
Use estimation to verify the reasonableness of calculated results.
Apply strategies and results from simpler problems to more complex problems.
Estimate unknown quantities graphically and solve for them by using logical reasoning and arithmetic and algebraic techniques.
