To start the second year of this series, the 7 grade textbooks give the students a quick recap of the 6A and 6B material before delving into new topics.
Many students who expand their understanding using Archimath see growth in areas of algebra, geometry, and creative problem solving. It is the best preparation for middle and high school students to tackle college mathematics and beyond. Materials that should be in school, but are often not!
Overview
The geometry journey moves on to more complicated polyhedral and round solids, making good use of the algebraic skills built up in 6 grade . In algebra, students also see a step up in sophistication. They encounter ratios and proportions and a few of their many applications, including more experience with representing and analyzing data and practical problems such as recipe and map scaling.
They wrap up the year with an intense study of polynomials and familiar factoring formulas, building skills that will prove invaluable for years to come.
