Math 7: Semester 1
Description. Students will learn to represent data with different graphs and plots, find measures of central tendency, produce probabilities, and use estimation and problem-solving skills; this course also covers basic geometric concepts such as solving problems with line segments and types of polygons, performing operations with decimals, finding factors and multiples of numbers, and finding areas and perimeters of different polygons.

Learning Outcomes
After you have successfully completed this course, you should be able to
- Represent data using a bar graph, a line graph, and a circle graph. Also make a spreadsheet, frequency table, and a line plot.
- Find the mean, median, and mode of a data set. Compare measures of central tendency among data sets.
- Find probabilities of events, predict the relative frequency of events, and use simulations to identify frequencies for compound events.
- Identify geometric terms such as points, lines, planes, segments, rays, and angles. Classify types of polygons by their number of sides. Explore types of triangles and special quadrilaterals.
- Perform operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division on decimal numbers.
- Identify divisibility rules for numbers. Find the greatest common factor and least common multiple for a set of numbers using prime factorization.
- Find the area of geometric figures and the surface area of various geometric solids.
- Use estimation skills to order, approximate, and round answers to problems.
- Use various problem-solving skills to solve real-world application problems.
