7.1 is a knowledge and skills statement. These are the student expectations under it.

• 7.1.A

  apply mathematics to problems arising in everyday life, society, and the workplace

• 7.1.B

  use a problem-solving model that incorporates analyzing given information, formulating a plan or strategy, determining a solution, justifying the solution, and ...

• 7.1.C

  select tools, including real objects, manipulatives, paper and pencil, and technology as appropriate, and techniques, including mental math, estimation, and num...

• 7.1.D

  communicate mathematical ideas, reasoning, and their implications using multiple representations, including symbols, diagrams, graphs, and language as appropria...

• 7.1.E

  create and use representations to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas

• 7.1.F

  analyze mathematical relationships to connect and communicate mathematical ideas

• 7.1.G

  display, explain, and justify mathematical ideas and arguments using precise mathematical language in written or oral communication

01

What Students Need to Do

Students make sense of real situations, choose a plan and suitable tools, solve, and check the result. They represent their reasoning in more than one way and explain it with precise math language.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students identify the question and relevant information, then choose a useful strategy and tool. They show their thinking with equations, tables, diagrams, graphs, or words and check whether the result makes sense.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students often choose an operation from a keyword without considering the whole situation. They may use every number given, trust a calculator result without estimating, or give an unlabeled answer with no justification.

04

How to Assess It

Give this exit ticket: “A $48 jacket is 25% off. Find the sale price, show two representations, and explain why your answer is reasonable.”

1. 01

   Give pairs grocery ads and a $30 budget; students estimate, calculate, record purchases in a table, and justify their choices.

2. 02

   Show two solutions to a discount problem and ask, “Which method is clearer, and how can you verify the result?”

3. 03

   Play a strategy sort where students match problem cards with tools, representations, and checking methods, then defend each match.

4. 04

   Have students compare two phone plans using tables, graphs, and equations, then recommend one for a given monthly data use.
