7th Grade Math Common Core Standards

The Common Core State Standards for Grade 7 math can be divided into various domains, each with specific standards and related deliverables. Here’s a table outlining these domains, standards, and deliverables:

DomainStandardDeliverable
Ratios and Proportional relationshipsAnalyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems– Compute unit rates associated with ratios of fractions, including ratios of lengths, areas and other quantities measured in like or different units.
– Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities.
– Use proportional relationships to solve multistep ratio and percent problems.
The Number SystemApply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers.– Apply and extend previous understandings of addition and subtraction to add and subtract rational numbers; represent addition and subtraction on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram.
– Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers.
Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers
Expressions and equationsUse properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions.– Apply properties of operations as strategies to add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients.
– Understand that rewriting an expression in different forms in a problem context can shed light on the problem and how the quantities in it are related.
Solve real-life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations– Solve multi-step real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form (whole numbers, fractions, and decimals), using tools strategically.
– Use variables to represent quantities in a real-world or mathematical problem, and construct simple equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning about the quantities.
GeometryDraw, construct, and describe geometrical figures and describe the relationships between them.– Solve problems involving scale drawings of geometric figures, including computing actual lengths and areas from a scale drawing and reproducing a scale drawing at a different scale.
– Draw (freehand, with ruler and protractor, and with technology) geometric shapes with given conditions. Focus on constructing triangles from three measures of angles or side.
– Describe the two-dimensional figures that result from slicing three-dimensional figures, as in plane sections of right rectangular prisms and right rectangular pyramids.
Solve real-life and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, surface area, and volumeKnow the formulas for the area and circumference of a circle and use them to solve problems; give an informal derivation of the relationship between the circumference and area of a circle.
Use facts about supplementary, complementary, vertical, and adjacent angles in a multi-step problem to write and solve simple equations for an unknown angle in a figure.
Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, volume and surface area of two- and three-dimensional objects composed of triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, cubes, and right prisms.
Statistics and ProbabilityUse random sampling to draw inferences about a population– Understand that statistics can be used to gain information about a population by examining a sample of the population.
– Use data from a random sample to draw inferences about a population with an unknown characteristic of interest. Generate multiple samples (or simulated samples) of the same size to gauge the variation in estimates or predictions.
Draw informal comparative inferences about two populations– Informally assess the degree of visual overlap of two numerical data distributions with similar variabilities, measuring the difference between the centers by expressing it as a multiple of a measure of variability.
– Use measures of center and measures of variability for numerical data from random samples to draw informal comparative inferences about two populations.
Investigate chance processes and develop, use, and evaluate probability models– Understand that the probability of a chance event is a number between 0 and 1 that expresses the likelihood of the event occurring. Larger numbers indicate greater likelihood.
– Approximate the probability of a chance event by collecting data on the chance process that produces it and observing its long-run relative frequency, and predict the approximate relative frequency given the probability.
– Develop a probability model and use it to find probabilities of events. Compare probabilities from a model to observed frequencies.
– Find probabilities of compound events using organized lists, tables, tree diagrams, and simulation.

This table provides an overview of the Common Core framework for Grade 7 math and the expected deliverables for each standard. Note that specific details and additional sub-points may vary depending on the curriculum and resources provided by each state or school district.
