WELCOME TO WALNUT SPRINGS MIDDLE SCHOOL CURRICULUM NIGHT Laura Douridas 7th Grade Math DouridaL@wcsoh.org CURRICULUM The Core Math 7 will focus on four critical areas: (1) developing understanding of and applying proportional relationships; (2) developing 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 threedimensional shapes to solve problems involving area, surface area, and volume; and (4) drawing inferences about populations based on samples. GRADING Grading will reflect the level of mathematical knowledge acquired by each student. To reflect the level of student mastery, the majority of a student’s grade will be comprised of the Individual Test average.

Laura Douridas DouridaL@wcsoh.org Anatomy of a Lesson The introduction: • gets students active • motivates learning • is often a challenge Anatomy of a Lesson Conceptual Development: • Moves students from concrete to abstract. • When appropriate, uses manipulatives such as algebra tiles. • Incorporates problembased learning. • Uses a structured approach. Anatomy of a Lesson ETHODS AND MEANINGS Math Notes boxes contain: • a summary of concepts. MATH NOTES Solving Problems with the 5-D Process The 5-D Process is an organized method to solve problems. The D’s stand for Describe/Draw, Define, Do, Decide, and Declare. An example of this work is shown below. Problem: The base of a rectangle is 13 centimeters longer than the height. If the perimeter is 58 centimeters, find the base and the height of the rectangle. Describe/Draw: The shape is a rectangle and we are looking at the perimeter. • formal definitions. height base Define Height (trial) Trial 1: 10 Decide Perimeter 2(base) + 2(height) 58? 7 8 Use the relationships stated in the problem to determine the values of the other quantities (such as base and perimeter). 7 + 13 = 20 8 + 13 = 21 • solved examples. 66 is too high 10 + 13 = 23 Use a trial value. Trial 2: Trial 3: Base (height + 13) Do 2(20) + 2(7) = 54 2(21) + 2(8) = 58 Decide if the answer is correct. Revise and make another trial until you find the correct answer. too low correct Declare: The base is 21 centimeters and the height is 8 centimeters.
