This document outlines the 7th grade math curriculum for the Isaac School District over 4 quarters. The first quarter focuses on rational number operations and equations. Key concepts include order of operations, prime factorization, integers, and solving one-step and two-step equations. The second quarter covers algebraic expressions, functions, and data analysis such as graphs, tables, and displays of data. The third quarter emphasizes geometry, measurement, and probability. Key areas are geometric properties, principles, and using probability to predict outcomes.
