Getting Ready for Grade 7 Math
Eight tutor-led lessons that turn shaky Grade 6 arithmetic into real Grade 7 confidence - integers, fractions, percent, algebra, and circles.
Who it's for: Students finishing Grade 6 and heading into Grade 7 this September, taught live in small tutor-led groups of four. Closes the gap: full integer operations, fraction-by-fraction multiplication and division, percent change, exponents, square roots, algebraic equations, and circle area.
The 8-lesson plan
Slides are what your tutor works from in the live lesson. The practice module is homework: do it before the next lesson.
Integers: Adding and Subtracting with Confidence
Build full integer addition and subtraction fluency on top of Grade 6's number-line representation, using zero pairs and the number line as the model for every rule.
Fractions: All Four Operations
Extend Grade 6's fraction add/subtract and whole-times-fraction skills into full fraction-by-fraction multiplication and division, the true four-operation fraction toolkit Grade 7 requires.
Decimals: Multiplying and Dividing with Precision
Extend Grade 6's whole-number-by-decimal-tenths operations into full decimal-by-decimal multiplication and division, anchored by an estimate-first habit that catches misplaced decimal points.
Ratios, Rates, and Percent in Real Life
Convert fluently between fraction, decimal, and percent form, apply percent increase and decrease with the base identified from context, and distinguish proportional from non-proportional situations.
Powers, Square Roots, GCF, and LCM
Introduce exponential notation, perfect squares and square roots, and formal GCF and LCM - three genuinely new Grade 7 tools built on Grade 6's factor skills.
The Algebra Bridge: Expressions, Equations, and Inequalities
Stretch Grade 6's expression, equation, and inequality skills to include decimal and negative coefficients and monomial subtraction, the true opening of Grade 7 algebra.
Circles: Circumference and Area
Build the circumference and area formulas from the radius-diameter relationship, a shape Grade 6 measurement never touched, reusing Lesson 5's square-root skill to solve backward from area to radius.
Data, Percent Graphs, and Probability of Two Events
Analyze how central-tendency measures shift when data changes, build circle graphs from percentages, and distinguish independent from dependent event probability.
