Week of 5/4/20
Hi to all 7th graders!
Below, please find a link to a decent enough online calculator. As always, the older assignments will appear further down on the page.
https://www.calculator.net/scientific-calculator.html
This week, we are doing a review of basic math. You will be required multiply, divide, factor, do operations with fractions, and compare ratios and use the proper terms.
In the first exercise, you will be required to calculate the pay per hour of several jobs and determine which one has the highest hourly rate of pay. To do a little review, please go to the links below.

The next section will require that you multiply some quantity by a unit rate and then subtract your total from your savings account. This is actually very much like the task of keeping your checking account ledger up to date. This one gives you an example for the first entry, and I really don’t think you will need a video to get going. This part is really simple.
Part Three requires that you find greatest common factors and least common multiples. For this one, I think you might need some video instruction. Take a look at the following links before you get going.

Part four will require that you know how to divide fractions. I know that many of you will need help on this one, so make sure that you begin with the videos below.

And finally, for part five, we take a trip back to ratios and how to write them. This part has two pages, so make sure you use both when you write your ratios. Also, check out the links below, before you get started.

Seventh grade assignment for the week of 4/28/20.
Hello Seventh Graders!
Below, please find a link to a decent enough online calculator. As always, the older assignments will appear further down on the page.
https://www.calculator.net/scientific-calculator.html
This week, we are going to return to the topic of area, but we are also going to do some real world money calculations. For this project, you will determine the costs to purchase a home, design the flooring, choose appliances, and a number of other things that go into the purchase of a house.
Most of the work should look pretty familiar. Some of it may be confusing. What I want you to do, this week, is explore how to teach yourself using any technology that you have available. When you run into some parts of the assignment that you are not sure how to complete, I want you to find notes and videos by searching for topics. Examples: How to calculate area, how to turn a decimal into a percentage, how to turn a percentage into a decimal, and so on. I promise, if you search these topics on google or youtube, you will find dozens of resources for any question you have. Some are better than others, as you may find out.
As always, please do check with me if you have questions, but see how much of this you can find on your own. This is useful, consumer math and you are up to the challenge!
Good luck! The assignment is attached or the link is found below.

Week of 4/20/20
Last week, we worked on finding the area of common shapes like rectangles, squares, parallelograms and trapezoids. We had concentrated on the area of circle a couple of weeks earlier. This week, we are going to expand on that skill and learn how to find the surface area of 3D shapes. Surface area is important in construction, mechanical applications, and design. Imagine if you were tasked to paint a bus and were told that 1 gallon of paint covered 80 square feet. You need to take measurements of the bus, decide which surfaces get painted, and then calculate how many square feet you need to paint before you know how much paint to buy.
In order to calculate the surface area of 3 dimensional objects, sometimes it is easier if you can break the 3D shape into a net of 2 dimensional shapes. Then you can calculate the area of each ‘face’. To explain this better, please watch the following videos.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtMNvnm71Z0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oo7nwo3kVgs
There are MANY more videos available online if you need more examples. For the assignment this week, you will be calculating the area of the faces of nets, adding them together, and finding the total surface area of the object. You will give the answer in units squared, and you will tell me what shape you would have if you folded it up and made 3D shape. The assignment is listed below.
Remember, older assignments are further down on the page. Also, if you need one, there is a link in the older assignments to a scientific calculator.

Seventh Grade Links for week of 4/13/20
Before we get started, I want to remind you that older assignments will appear below the newer assignments. Also, some of the really early assignments may have disappeared. If you have a calculator on your phone, feel free to use it. If not, the following is a link to a decent calculator online.
https://www.online-calculator.com/scientific-calculator/
This week, we are going to work on finding the surface area of three dimensional objects. We will begin with a review of finding the area of two dimensional shapes. This will involve quite a lot of vocabulary, a few formulas, some drawing techniques, and a little bit of common sense.
First, let’s look at vocabulary, formulas, and general notes that you will need to find the area of 2D shapes called polygons. Follow the link below, and, when you get there, go to the bottom of the page to find a chart which will list various names of polygons along with the formulas used to find the area.
https://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/regular-polygons.html
The following link will take you to a video that will show you how to calculate the area of a circle (which we have already done) a square, a rectangle and a triangle. Try to memorize the formulas for area of these basic shapes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiXATDNNnr4
The next video will show you how to calculate the area of a parallelogram.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8OPoot0IUg
And this final video will remind you how to calculate the area of a trapezoid.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hISqaDb6XE
The next few links will provide practice on finding area of common shapes.
https://www.khanacademy.org/math/basic-geo/basic-geo-area-and-perimeter/area-formula-intuition/e/area-of-squares-and-rectangles
https://www.khanacademy.org/math/basic-geo/basic-geo-area-and-perimeter/area-triangle/e/area_of_triangles_1
https://www.khanacademy.org/math/basic-geo/basic-geo-area-and-perimeter/parallelogram-area/e/area_of_parallelograms
