Chris in VA Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Sort of a spin-off of Algebra thread-- Here are the topics presented in dd's Honors Math 7 (which is aligned to Math 8 at our public school). Kids who successfully complete this go into Alg in 8th grade. First Quarter Unit 1: Real Number System The student will compare, order and classify elements of the real number syster. Honors topics: Density Property, Venn Diagrams, Radical Simplification, Conversion of Repeating Decimals to fractions Unit 2:Numerical and Algebraic Expressions Student will translate, simplify and evaluate numeric and algebraic expressions using order of operations Honors topics: Complex Fractions, products and quotients of powers Unit 3: Equations Sudent will solve multistep linear equations and justify their steps using properties of operations Honors topics: Literal equations, graphing calculator applications Second Quarter Unit 4: Ratios, Percents, Proportions Student will solve practical problems involving rational numbers, percents, ratios, and proportions Honors topics: Multistep practical problems, compound interest Unit 5: Inequalities Student will solve multistep linear inequalities and justify steps using properties of operations Honors topics: Interval Notation Unit 6: Functions Student will create and analyze function representations Honors topics: practical problems with functions, slope-intercept form and transformations with linear equations Third Quarter Unit 7: Geometry Student will describe angle relationships and identify transformations of plane figures Honors: angle relationships with transversals, scale factor and transformations on coordinate plane Unit 8: Measurement Student will investigate and solve problems involving surface are and volume of 3D shapes and use/apply Pythagorian Theorum Honors: Spheres, compound figures, algebraic expressions and plane figures Fourth Quarter Unit 9: Probability Student will determine prob of ind and dep events Honors: Geometric probability, algorithms for Combinations and permutations Unit 10: Statistics Student will construct, compare and make predictions using scatter plots and whisker plots Honors: Line of Best fit, graphing calculator applications She's had most of this last year in Advanced 6th grade math, which is 7th grade math--only the "honors" part is new. Had I known that, I would've put her in Algebra! At least she'll be rock solid in everything. Anyway, just thought you'd like to see, fwiw.
