Rates and Proportions 7.RP.1

Domain: Ratios & Proportional Relationships
Theme: Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems
Standard: Compute unit rates associated with ratios of fractions, including ratios of lengths, areas and other quantities measured in like or different units. For example, if a person walks 1/2 mile in each 1/4 hour, compute the unit rate as the complex fraction (1/2)/(1/4) miles per hour, equivalently 2 miles per hour.

Ratios and Percents and Proportions 7.RP.3

Domain: Ratios & Proportional Relationships
Theme: Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems
Standard: Use proportional relationships to solve multistep ratio and percent problems. Examples: simple interest, tax, markups and markdowns, gratuities and commissions, fees, percent increase and decrease, percent error.

Rational Numbers, Multiplication & Divsion 7.NS.2

Domain: The Number System
Theme: Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers.
Standard: Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers.

Expressions & Equations, Combining Like Terms 7.EE.1

Domain: Expressions & Equations
Theme: Use properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions
Standard: Apply properties of operations as strategies to add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients.

Expressions & Equations, Multi-Step Problems 7.EE.3

Domain: Expressions & Equations
Theme: Solve real-life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations
Standard: Solve multi-step real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form (whole numbers, fractions, and decimals), using tools strategically. Apply properties of operations as strategies to calculate with numbers in any form; convert between forms as appropriate; and assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies. For example: If a woman making $25 an hour gets a 10% raise, she will make an additional 1/10 of her salary an hour, or $2.50, for a new salary of $27.50. If you want to place a towel bar 9 3/4 inches long in the center of a door that is 27 1/2 inches wide, you will need to place the bar about 9 inches from each edge; this estimate can be used as a check on the exact computation.

Similarity 7.G.1

Domain: Geometry
Theme: Draw, construct, and describe geometrical figures and describe the relationships between them
Standard: Solve problems involving scale drawings of geometric figures, including computing actual lengths and areas from a scale drawing and reproducing a scale drawing at a different scale.

3-Dimensional Figures 7.G.3

Domain: Geometry
Theme: Draw, construct, and describe geometrical figures and describe the relationships between them
Standard: Describe the two-dimensional figures that result from slicing three-dimensional figures, as in plane sections of right rectangular prisms and right rectangular pyramids.

Angles 7.G.5

Domain: Geometry
Theme: Solve real-life and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, surface area, and volume
Standard: Use facts about supplementary, complementary, vertical, and adjacent angles in a multi-step problem to write and solve simple equations for an unknown angle in a figure.

Sampling a Population 7.SP.1

Domain: Statistics & Probability
Theme: Use random sampling to draw inferences about a population
Standard: Understand that statistics can be used to gain information about a population by examining a sample of the population; generalizations about a population from a sample are valid only if the sample is representative of that population. Understand that random sampling tends to produce representative samples and support valid inferences.

Mean, Median, and Mean Absolute Deviation 7.SP.3

Domain: Statistics & Probability
Theme: Draw informal comparative inferences about two populations
Standard: Informally assess the degree of visual overlap of two numerical data distributions with similar variabilities, measuring the difference between the centers by expressing it as a multiple of a measure of variability. For example, the mean height of players on the basketball team is 10 cm greater than the mean height of players on the soccer team, about twice the variability (mean absolute deviation) on either team; on a dot plot, the separation between the two distributions of heights is noticeable.

Probability of a Chance Event 7.SP.5

Domain: Statistics & Probability
Theme: Investigate chance processes and develop, use, and evaluate probability models
Standard: Understand that the probability of a chance event is a number between 0 and 1 that expresses the likelihood of the event occurring. Larger numbers indicate greater likelihood. A probability near 0 indicates an unlikely event, a probability around 1/2 indicates an event that is neither unlikely nor likely, and a probability near 1 indicates a likely event.

Probability Model 7.SP.7a

Domain: Statistics & Probability
Theme: Investigate chance processes and develop, use, and evaluate probability models
Standard: Develop a uniform probability model by assigning equal probability to all outcomes, and use the model to determine probabilities of events. For example, if a student is selected at random from a class, find the probability that Jane will be selected and the probability that a girl will be selected.
