Scope and Sequence for Grade Seven Common Core Mathematics
Text: BIG IDEAS MATH Course 2 – Harcourt 2015
Chapter 1: Integers
Purpose: In this unit, students will extend their understanding of integers to find absolute value and define it formally, using a number line as a tool. They
will use integers to model and solve real-life problems. They will apply properties of operations to add, subtract, multiply, and divide integers and use inductive reasoning to write general rules for these operations. It will be important for students to develop a conceptual understanding of integer operations, opposites, and additive inverse. Opportunities for students to compare and describe relationships between operations, and use tools such as number lines, tables, or counters, will help them to make sense of problems, explain their reasoning, and deepen their understanding of integers. Evaluating expressions with integers and exponents will extend previous learning of number properties, order of operations, and comparing and ordering integers.

students explain their reasoning. Prior knowledge of order of operations is extended to evaluating expressions with integers. Complete activities #1-4
Chapter 2: Rational Numbers
Purpose: The focus of this unit is to extend and apply prior understandings of fractions to operations with rational numbers, including negative fractions.
Students will further develop their understanding of rational numbers and decimals (terminating and repeating) and convert between them. Using
a number line to represent subtraction and addition of rational numbers allows students to reason abstractly and quantitatively as they solve real- world and mathematical problems. They will need many opportunities to explain and justify their solution processes as they apply rules for operations with integers to operations with rational numbers.

Chapter 3: Expressions and Equations
Purpose: Building on their prior understandings of writing and evaluating expressions, students will extend this understanding to simplify, factor, expand,
and solve equations using all four operations. Modeling of equations (for example, with algebra tiles) will be helpful as students build their understanding of properties of equality and inverse operations and make sense of word problems. Precision of language is important for students to practice as they explain their solution processes and justify their solutions. Many opportunities for students to understand and make connections between multiple representations such as tables, graphs, equations, and words will be necessary. Avoiding the use of “key words” and focusing instead on making meaning of problems and strategically approaching solutions should be an overarching theme as students develop perseverance and precision in problem-solving.

Chapter 4: Inequalities
Purpose: In this unit, students will write, graph, and solve one and two-step inequalities. They will use number lines to graph solutions to inequalities and
use precise language as they translate between words, symbols, and graphs. Building on their prior knowledge of solving equations, they will use properties of inequality to solve inequalities and determine whether a given value is a solution. Through solving real-life problems, students will develop their understanding of the conditions that determine the inequality symbol to be used, and accurately define variables as they plan their solution strategies.

Chapter 5: Ratios and Proportions
Purpose: In this unit, students will connect their understanding of fractions to the concepts of ratios, rates, unit rates, and proportionality. The use of
visuals, graphs, ratio tables, and tape diagrams, will help students reason quantitatively to better understand equivalent ratios, and proportional relationships. Students will be asked to write and solve proportions using a variety of strategies. Extending the concept of rate, the graphical representation will be used to define the concept of slope. Using tables and graphs, students will find and interpret the slope of a line and compare the slopes of two lines. This will be extended to develop understanding of direct variation. It will be important for students to make real-life connections to these concepts and explain the meaning of the lines, tables, graphs, and solutions within the context of the problems presented.

Chapter 6: Percents
Purpose: In this unit, students will compare fractions, decimals, and percents, calculating and converting between these representations. Tables, number
lines, circle graphs, the percent equation, and percent bar models will be used to help students make sense of real-life problems and estimate answers. Students will explore a variety of percent problems, including percent of increase and decrease, percent of error, markups, discounts, and simple interest. Much of the language presented may be unfamiliar to students and they will need many opportunities to work collaboratively to make sense of the language and develop solution strategies. The relevance of financial literacy is developed through real-life problems posed within the context of savings, credit, debt, and consumer awareness.

Chapter 7: Constructions and Scale Drawings
Purpose: Building on student’s prior knowledge of measuring and drawing angles, they will identify adjacent and vertical angles and classify angles as
complementary or supplementary. Extending this understanding to find angle measures, they will write and solve equations for an unknown angle in a figure. Students will construct triangles with given angle measures or side lengths. Exploration of quadrilaterals will include understanding of the attributes of quadrilaterals, constructing them, and finding missing angle measures. Scale drawings will be used to find actual distances, perimeters, and areas, and to produce drawings of different scales. The precision of language and measurement in this unit will be important as students will be asked to explain, compare, and contrast terms and find exact measures. Students will need many opportunities to share their reasoning in order to build conceptual understanding. They will also need practice with the measurement tools used as they develop accuracy in their constructions and work with scale drawings.

Chapter 8: Circles and Area
Purpose: This unit will extend their previous understandings of area formulas and classification of two-dimensional figures to find the area, circumference,
and perimeters of circles, semi-circles and composite figures. They will describe circles in terms of the radius and diameter, develop their understanding of pi and use pi to calculate and estimate circumference and area of circles. Extending their knowledge of finding perimeter, circumference, and area of common shapes, they will find area and perimeter of composite figures by separating them into familiar figures. Students will need to use drawings, estimations, and identify patterns as they make sense of real-life and mathematical problems and describe their solution processes.

Purpose: In this unit, students will deepen their understanding of experimental and theoretical probability. Precision of language will be developed as
students explain the meaning of outcomes, events, probability, samples, and populations, as they solve real-life problems. Graphs, tables, and diagrams will be used to organize and interpret information. Students will need many opportunities to share their thinking and make connections among and between these representations. Experiments, models, and demonstrations will be used to help students make sense of real-life problems. In studying samples and populations, they will use measures of center, compare data sets and populations, and analyze samples to determine if they can be used to draw conclusions and make predictions.
