This course prepares students for Math 8. The focus of this course is to continue to build the foundation necessary for success in the study of algebra. The instruction will be rigorous and concentrate on developing particular skills as defined by the Common Learning Standards. The quality of work will allow students to gain a deeper understanding of the concepts and become fluent in the application, as well as make connections between the theoretical processes and real-world applications. Students will concentrate on the following domains: integers and rational numbers, expressions, equations and inequalities, ratios and proportional relationships, percent and proportional relationships, geometry, and statistics and probability.v
