(3) The primary focal areas in Grade 7 are number and operations; proportionality;expressions, equations, and relationships; and measurement and data. Students use concepts,algorithms, and properties of rational numbers to explore mathematical relationships and todescribe increasingly complex situations. Students use concepts of proportionality to explore,develop, and communicate mathematical relationships, including number, geometry andmeasurement, and statistics and probability. Students use algebraic thinking to describe how achange in one quantity in a relationship results in a change in the other. Students connectverbal, numeric, graphic, and symbolic representations of relationships, including equationsand inequalities. Students use geometric properties and relationships, as well as spatialreasoning, to model and analyze situations and solve problems. Students communicateinformation about geometric figures or situations by quantifying attributes, generalizeprocedures from measurement experiences, and use the procedures to solve problems.Students use appropriate statistics, representations of data, and reasoning to draw conclusions,evaluate arguments, and make recommendations.
