Seventh Grade Math & Science

Pre-Algebra
(a required one-year course)

This course stresses determining the solution to equations and inequalities, analyzing properties of real numbers, manipulating rational numbers, and simplifying exponentials and polynomials. This course is designed to reinforce problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Topics in statistics, probability, logic, geometry, and measurement round out the course. Math study skills such as organization, note-taking and test preparation are once again reinforced.

Pre-Algebra Accelerated
(a required one-year course)

Pre-Algebra Accelerated is an advanced course for seventh graders. This year-long course will prepare students to enter Algebra I. The focus of the course is on building the foundation necessary for success in the study of algebra. Students will become familiar with the following: properties of mathematics; algebraic terminology; solving one step and two step equations; adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing rational numbers and integers; solving inequalities; graphing equations and inequalities; ratios, proportions, and percents; statistics and probability; applying algebra to geometry; and the study of polynomials. Students will not only reinforce their problem-solving and critical thinking skills, but delve deeper into the various concepts that are studied throughout the year. Math study skills such as organization, note-taking, and test preparation will be reinforced throughout the year

Life Science
(a required one-year course)

This class will focus on two major topics. One of which is cells- the building blocks of life, cell processes, changes over time, bacteria and viruses, protests and fungi, and introduction to plants. The human body will focus on the following systems: skeletal, muscular, circulatory, respiratory, nervous, and digestive. The course will culminate with a comparative anatomy dissection of a frog.
