WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH

Outcomes, not lecture notes.

01

Apply ratios and proportional reasoning to real-world problems involving percentages, discounts, and comparisons

02

Simplify algebraic expressions by identifying and combining like terms with precision

03

Solve one-variable and two-variable equations using inverse operations and multiple strategies

04

Evaluate and manipulate exponential expressions, including negative exponents and powers with negative bases

05

Use prime factorization to find the GCF and LCM of numbers and apply them to fraction and problem-solving contexts

06

Plot and interpret points on the coordinate plane, graph linear equations, and navigate all four quadrants

07

Calculate surface area and volume of 3D shapes and solve for missing angles in geometric figures

08

Recognize and extend arithmetic and geometric sequences by writing algebraic expressions to describe patterns

ABOUT THIS CLASS

7th grade math moves fast — ratios, exponents, algebraic equations, geometry — and school teachers have curriculum calendars to keep, whether every student has fully locked in each skill or not. Building Blocks of 7th Grade Math is the year-round companion class for students who don't just want to pass these topics but truly own them. Each session digs into the core concepts that 7th grade math is built on: proportional reasoning, prime factorization, exponent rules, equation solving, the coordinate plane, and geometric principles. These aren't just this year's topics — they're the foundation that pre-algebra, algebra, and standardized tests will all assume students have mastered cold. Smart, driven 7th graders enroll here because they know the difference between getting a grade and building real, lasting math confidence.

SYLLABUS

Make the Basics Automatic When a student is still working hard on an earlier skill, like ratios or fraction and decimal operations, there's little attention left for the new idea that builds on it. We revisit those foundations until they're automatic, so students' brainpower goes where it's needed most.

Lock In This Year's Learning The school year moves fast, and students are often just on the cusp of getting a topic when the next unit begins. We circle back to key 7th grade concepts from earlier in the year, like operations with negative numbers or proportional relationships, that later units depend on.

Tackle What's in Front of You Whatever unit your class is in right now, from proportions and percents to expressions, equations, geometry, and probability, students get guided practice and clear strategies for the kinds of problems they're seeing in school this month.

Preview What's Next Wouldn't we all love a sneak peek at our next challenge before the clock starts ticking and the points start counting? We preview upcoming concepts, like multi-step equations and inequalities or probability, so new topics feel familiar instead of intimidating.
