US Grade 7
Welcome to a dynamic and engaging 7th-grade math class designed to make learning math a thrilling journey! Throughout the year, students will explore a wide range of mathematical concepts and develop problem-solving skills while having loads of fun. This inclusive and interactive course will ensure that every learner feels empowered to excel in math. We will cover number sense, learning about integers, decimals, fractions, and percentages. Learners will discover the properties of angles, lines, and polygons. We will explore data sets, create graphs, and make predictions using probability. We will also learn to solve equations and inequalities by applying algebraic techniques to everyday scenarios. We will use real-life experiences to understand how ratios and proportions are used in various aspects of life, from cooking recipes to financial planning. Concepts of functions are introduced through interactive graph plotting and real-world problem-solving. If you need financial help please reach out and inquire if we have any scholarship spots available. Our classes are interactive discussions and we use games and other hands-on activities to engage every child in their learning. All of our classes are taught in a 100% inclusive and child-led environment. Our teachers are always inclusive of every child and adapt their teaching style to keep high levels of engagement and progression.
