Hello friends, today we will discuss about the math topics that you study in Grade VII. In this class students of age group 13-14 study. Mathematics is study of quantity, structure, space and change which we learn in different branches of mathematics. In this article I will give you a brief introduction of topics that students learn in grade VII. With this I will also tell you how to learn mathematics. In grade VII students go through many new topics and study few previous one’s in detailed form. In this class students learn Algebra, Geometry, Measurement, Numbers and Operations, Probability and Statistics, and with this students go through important topics that they have covered under 6 Grade Math. Many students are math phobic and they just hate this subject because they think it is the worst subject of their course. The reason behind this is that they don’t understand its fundamental principles and because of this they lack their interest in particular subject. Now, let’s switch gear towards the topics that you are going to learn in grade VII. Here, we have a brief introduction of Grade VII mathematics syllabus.
Let’s start with algebra. It deals with the relationship of operators and numbers which also posses constants. In grade VII students learn several topics that involve problems involving positive/negative power. In this you learn how to solve the problems having negative terms in the exponents or powers. Next topic is solving problems in percentage; proportional relationships, formulas for measurement, and graphing data to demonstrate relationships. Arithmetic sequences, in this data are represented as a sequential manner, simplifying numerical expressions simply involves the solving of expressions, operations on monomials, linear/non-linear functions, equations, inequalities. In this, students learn what inequality equations are and how to solve them. What is an inequality do you know, it is that equation which contains greater than and less than symbols. In Grade VII you will learn this topic in detail and also learn how to solve its problems using different methods. With this, students learn, multistep problems and how to solve a problem in different steps using different methods.
After, algebra let’s talk about the other pure branch of mathematics i.e. geometry. It is defined as a branch of mathematics that deals with the designing of different shapes, calculation of their area, depth, volumes, height, etc. In the VIIth grade mathematics students learn how to solve different geometrical problem, like Complementary/supplementary angles: in this students learn different types of examples and how to solve problems related to complementary/supplementary angles. Next topic of geometry involves properties of 2-D and 3-D figures, Rectangular coordinate system, reflections/translations on a coordinate plans, sketching and modeling, regular/irregular geometric shapes, different geometric concepts, tessellations, properties of lines and basic construction. Tessellations, is a way to tile a floor with different shapes so that there is no overlapping and no gaps. In geometry section students of the Grade VII also learn Pythagorean Theorem, Congruence, relation between objects in space, and graphing solutions of inequalities. Geometry is one of the interesting branch that you study and you enjoy solving geometrical problems.
Next topic that you will go through is measurement, problems in measurements, formulas for measurement, scale drawings, significant digits, and relative error and magnitude. In this class students learn what the different units of measurements are and how to convert them from one unit to other. Students learn the units of time, metric system, mass, length, volume, and temperature conversions. In scale drawings you will learn how to represent them on graphs as a map cannot be of the same sizes as the area it represents. So we use scaled down measurement to make a map. The next topic that we study is significant digits. In this you will learn how a number is expressed in scientific notation. The number of significant digits is the number of digits needed to express the number within the uncertainty of calculation.
In the number and operations students learn Rational numbers, problems involving markups, commissions, profits, operations on fractions, decimals, integers, rates and ratios, order of operations, exponents, scientific notation, radicals, absolute value, irrational/real numbers, number systems, Positive/negative numbers - inverse relationships, Estimation of solutions, Primes, factors, multiples, number sequences, Simple/compound interest, Probability and Statistics, Simple/composite experiments, independent events, odds for and odds against, Representations of data, and Mean, median, mode, and range. Rational numbers are those numbers that can be formed by dividing one integer by another. And this word is derived from ratio. In this class you will learn this topic in detail and see how the problems can be represented in rational forms. In previous class you all have gone through fractions. In grade VII you will learn how to perform different operations on fractions and simplify them. As I mentioned several topics you will also learn how to get the solution of a problem, and what will be the estimated solution of a problem.
In later grades you will learn statistics and in grade VII you will learn the basic like what is mean, mode, median, range and how to solve problems related to them. Mean is defined as average and you all are familiar with average. Mode is simply the most repeated term in the given series or list while median is the middle number in odd list and average of middle two numbers in case of even list.
Apart from all the above described topics, students of Grade VII do revision of the topics that they had learnt in pervious classes like, Number system (whole numbers, decimal numbers, rational numbers, integers, fractions and ordering the numbers), Measurement (metric system, temperature, mass, volume, length, time, area, surface area, and perimeter), Basic geometry (understanding the elementary shapes, ideas and geometric figures), Basic Algebra, Data handling in statistics and Symmetry, Ratio and Proportion. You all learn these topics not only in class VI but also in previous classes and in this class you will get a brief gist of all these topics as all the topics of mathematics are interrelated and all previous concepts must be clear in order to learn the new concepts.
Generally students having common mentality related to mathematics, according to which students always move away from this interesting subject. Mathematics is a subject that is full of concepts that are used throughout the life. Math is that subject which is most commonly used in day to day life. If you want to become master of any subject, then all your concepts must be clear. And how the concepts get clear? Confused that how to clear the concepts. To clear your concepts you need to do a regular practice.
You all must have heard a very common proverb that says, practice make a man perfect. In order to get perfection you need to do practice on regular basis. Do practice of all the topics and solve your problems on the same day. Many students shy to ask their problems to teachers in class room because they think other students will make fun of them that they don’t know such a small thing. But, kids, you should have courage to clear all your doubts as if you don’t do this then it will hamper you and your study not others. Try to overcome your problems when they occur rather than postponing them for future and making them complex. As you all know math is a conceptual subject and all the concepts are interrelated to each other. If your any concept is not clear or you are facing problems in any concept than it will definitely create problems while you learn other concepts and solve problems.
Students I am here, to solve all your mathematical queries as I will help you in learning different mathematical concept and make you familiar with different kind of examples on a single topic so that you can easily catch the concept of the problem s and method of solving the problem. If we consider a small problem complex and before making any effort to solve the problem we think we can’t solve it then you won’t be able to solve the problem in your life. So try to solve each and every problem and if you have any problem then take help of your teachers tutors or you can also switch to online help. You have to make little efforts with your teachers and tutors and you can easily learn this subject. So kids, learn mathematics in proper way and solve all your problems.
One more common issue arises with most of the students that they don’t like to do their homework. Homework is given to students so that they can practice the topic taught to them in class but most of the students copy it from other students’ copy. Kids, try to do homework yourself if any problem occur then take help of friends, tutors or online help.
