Missouri 7th Grade Math Standards
All 24 Missouri math standards for 7th grade, each explained in plain English. The official wording is in Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's document, linked at the end of this page.
24 standards
Ratios and Proportional Relationships
3 standards7.RP.A.1
Compute unit rates, including ones with fractions in both parts and with the same or different units, like 1/2 mile in 1/4 hour is 2 miles per hour.
7.RP.A.2
Decide whether two quantities are proportional, find the constant of proportionality, and write the relationship as an equation like t = pn.
7.RP.A.3
Use ratios, rates, percents and proportions to solve real problems, like sales tax, tips, discounts, markups and percent change.
Number Sense and Operations
3 standards7.NS.A.1
Add and subtract positive and negative numbers on a number line and by rule, knowing opposites sum to 0 and subtraction means adding the opposite.
7.NS.A.2
Multiply and divide positive and negative numbers, explain what results mean in real life, and write fractions as decimals that end or repeat, like 1/3 = 0.333 repeating.
7.NS.A.3
Solve real problems with positive and negative fractions and decimals using all four operations, like the change in temperature from −8 to 5 degrees.
Expressions, Equations and Inequalities
4 standards7.EEI.A.1
Simplify, expand and factor linear expressions with fraction, decimal or negative coefficients, like 4x + 6 = 2 times the sum of 2x and 3.
7.EEI.A.2
Rewrite an expression in an equal form to show what its quantities mean, like a + 0.05a = 1.05a for a price plus 5% tax.
7.EEI.B.3
Solve problems with several steps using positive and negative fractions, decimals and percents, switching forms as needed and estimating to check answers.
7.EEI.B.4
Write and solve one-step and two-step equations like 3x + 5 = 20 and inequalities like 2x − 4 > 10 with rational numbers, graph them, and explain the answers.
Geometry and Measurement
6 standards7.GM.A.1
Use a scale drawing to find real lengths and areas and redraw it at a new scale, like a map where 1 inch stands for 20 miles.
7.GM.A.2
Construct shapes with tools like rulers, protractors and software, decide whether given measures make one unique triangle, and build special quadrilaterals.
7.GM.A.3
Describe the flat shapes made by slicing pyramids, prisms, cones and cylinders, like the circle you get by cutting a cylinder straight across.
7.GM.A.4
Explain how a circle's radius, diameter, circumference, area and pi relate, and use the circumference and area formulas to solve problems.
7.GM.B.5
Write and solve equations to find a missing angle using angle facts like supplementary, complementary, vertical and adjacent angles.
7.GM.B.6
Find areas of polygons built from triangles and rectangles and the surface area and volume of prisms, cylinders and pyramids, explaining how these measures relate.
Data Analysis, Statistics and Probability
8 standards7.DSP.A.1
Explain how a random sample that represents a population lets you draw valid conclusions about the whole group, like surveying 50 random students about lunch.
7.DSP.A.2
Use several samples to draw conclusions about a population and see how much the estimates vary, like predicting a school election from random groups of 20 voters.
7.DSP.B.3
Use measures like mean, median, range and interquartile range to compare and describe different data distributions.
7.DSP.B.4
Compare centers, frequencies and spreads from two random samples to draw conclusions about their populations, like test scores of two grades.
7.DSP.C.5
Find probabilities of simple events and explain that a probability is a number from 0 to 1 showing how likely an event is, like 1/6 for rolling a 4.
7.DSP.C.6
Predict outcomes with theoretical probability, run experiments, and compare the results to the predictions, like flipping a coin 50 times.
7.DSP.C.7
Build probability models from equal chances or from observed data and explain why results may differ from the model, like a spinner landing on red more than expected.
7.DSP.C.8
Show all outcomes of a compound event with lists, tables or tree diagrams, design simulations, and find probabilities, like the chance of heads and a 6.
