Important information and resources for parents of Selwyn students. Links to resources and class pages for students. Important notices and resources for Selwyn faculty and staff. Notices and resources for Selwyn's alumni community. The Grade 7 math program begins with a review of all arithmetic operations, including fractions and decimals.
Problem solving is emphasized.
Basic geometry constructions are introduced and applied to triangle construction and multiple step constructions. Algebraic concepts and basic rules of addition, subtraction and multiplication of monomials and polynomials are covered in great detail. Equations and problems requiring an algebraic solution are also introduced. The course completes the students' earlier study of operations on rational numbers and their conversion from one form to another, introduces the algebra of polynomials, and teaches the solution of many problem types through algebraic analysis. The course covers fundamental geometric constructions, including properties of triangles, polygons, and circles, as well as a study of congruence, similarity and area, and geometric transformations.
