Common Core: 7th Grade Math

Explore the foundational concepts of mathematics through engaging problem-solving and real-world applications in 7th grade.

Practical Applications

Applying Proportional Reasoning to Maps and Models

Map Scales and Blueprints

Maps and models use proportional reasoning to represent large areas or objects in smaller, more manageable sizes.

Making Calculations

You can use ratios and proportions to figure out real distances on a map, or the full size of a model car.

Why It Matters

These skills are helpful for planning trips, building projects, or even playing strategy games!

Examples

  • Reading a map with a 1:100,000 scale to estimate the real distance between two cities.

  • Building a model airplane where every 1 inch represents 10 feet of the real plane.
