Math 7: Fundamentals of Math

Course Description

Fundamentals of Math seeks to firm up the math foundation laid in previous years, filling in any cracks and misunderstandings of the basic structure of our math system. Whole numbers, number theory, equations, decimals, and fractions are emphasized in the context of understanding how these principles work, going beyond rote memorization of procedures. Measurements, both customary and metric, principles of geometry, as well as percent, sets, and statistics complete the basic groundwork necessary for developing the confidence and competence needed to solve real-life problems.
