Math 7 CP/Accelerated 

Math 7 CP: Students focus on four critical areas: (1) developing understanding of and applying proportional relationships; (2) developing understanding of operations with rational numbers and working with expressions and linear equations; (3) solving problems involving scale drawings and informal geometric constructions, and working with two- and three-dimensional shapes to solve problems involving area, surface area, and volume; and (4) drawing inferences about populations based on samples. 

Math 7 Accelerated: Students will resume learning the Math 7CP standards not taught in Math 6 Advanced, specifically they will draw, construct and describe geometrical figures and describe the relationships between them; solve real-life and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, surface area, and volume; use random sampling to draw inferences about a population; draw informal comparative inferences about two populations and investigate chance processes and develop, use, and evaluate probability models. Then students will learn the Math 8CP standards listed below. At the end of this year students will be prepared to take Algebra Honors in the 8th grade. 
*Prerequisite: ​A's and B's semester 1 and 2 in Math 6 Accelerated or A or B semester 1 in Math 6 CP to qualify for Boost Camp.
