Middle School Math 2 (Grade 7)
Open
Students who love interactive learning will enjoy M/J Mathematics 2. They experience intrigue and fun when they log in to this course. M/J Mathematics 2 is a hands-on course full of slideshows, applications, videos, and real-world scenarios.
The instruction in this course focuses on four critical areas:
(1) developing an understanding of and applying proportional relationships
(2) developing an 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
(4) drawing inferences about populations based on samples.
