Grade 7 Mathematics

Algebra
Learning Activity

Students develop patterns involving decimals. They solve equations that involve multiple terms, whole numbers, and decimals. Students write code to simulate a probability experiment and determine the different results in a game. They use mathematical modelling to solve real-life problems.

This Learning Activity is divided into three sections. Adults should guide children through it in the following order:

Minds On: Introduces the learning concepts to be explored in the Learning Activity.
Action: Offers a focused activity to explore the content and discover key concepts.
Consolidation: Provides students with an opportunity to deepen understanding and reflect on learning.

Learning Strand

Algebra

Students connect their understanding of whole-number patterns to patterns involving decimals. They continue to solve equations that involve multiple terms, whole numbers, and decimal numbers, such as 2x + 5 = 3x - 1. Students write code to simulate a probability experiment and determine the different results in a game. They also use mathematical modelling to provide insight into real-life situations, such as determining the best options for raising funds for a local charity.
