This page provides specific content-related information for Albert's 7th Grade Math course, including how it is organized, how to find questions using standards or tags, and ideas for classroom uses. If you need technical assistance, please visit our Help Center or contact hello@albert.io.
Subject Organization
7th Grade Math is organized by content themes and further broken down into topics. Within each topic, questions are organized by leveled subtopics that increase in depth and difficulty as the student progresses.
Themes
Our 7th Grade Math course includes six themes:
- Rational Numbers and Operations
- Numerical and Algebraic Expressions
- Equations and Inequalities
- Proportional Relationships and Percents
- Angles and Circles
- Data Analysis and Probability
Topics
Each theme contains a range of specific topics. For example, here is a list of topics within our "Proportional Relationships and Percents" theme:
- Proportionality and Equations
- Analyze Proportional Relationships
- Percentages and Financial Applications
- Percentages and Ratios
Subtopics
Each topic contains more focused, scaffolded subtopics called "levels". A typical topic will begin with many easy, skill-based questions in "Level 1". As the levels increase, question ratios will shift towards more moderate and difficult questions with more real-life applications and conceptual practice.
Here's an example of subtopics within the topic "Proportionality and Equations":
- Level 1: Identify proportional relationships
- Level 2: Constant of proportionality with tables and graphs
- Level 3: Write equations of proportional relationships
Skills Practice
Based on teacher feedback, we’ve added extra Skill Practice subtopics to relevant 7th Grade Math topics. These topics give students the at-bats they need to develop procedural fluency.
These subtopics include only multiple choice and multiple select questions with the “skill” tag.
Graphing Practice
We've also added Graphing Practice subtopics to relevant 7th Grade Math topics. These are interactive graphing type questions that are meant to build fluency with the coordinate plane.
Assessments
In addition to our practice guide, 7th Grade Math includes a cumulative "end of course" exam in the Assessment tab with questions unique from those in our practice guide.
Using Standards and Tags to Find Questions
Standards
All of Albert's 7th Grade Math questions are aligned to state standards relevant to the subject matter. Our 7th Grade Math questions are also aligned to the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics.
This standards alignment provides another easy way to find useful questions besides the Theme and Topic organization. Using the Standards button at the top left corner of any subject page, you can filter for just your state’s standard set then simply search for your state’s standards to find all questions in our course library aligned to that standard! For more details, please see this article in our Help section.
In addition to searching by the standards’ names, you can also search by their content! Simply type in a few words from the standard description to see all relevant standards pertaining to that content.
