RULE §111.27Grade 7, Adopted 2012

    (B) explain verbally and symbolically the relationship between the volume of a triangular prism and a triangular pyramid having both congruent bases and heights and connect that relationship to the formulas; and

    (C) use models to determine the approximate formulas for the circumference and area of a circle and connect the models to the actual formulas.

  (9) Expressions, equations, and relationships. The student applies mathematical process standards to solve geometric problems. The student is expected to:

    (A) solve problems involving the volume of rectangular prisms, triangular prisms, rectangular pyramids, and triangular pyramids;

    (B) determine the circumference and area of circles;

    (C) determine the area of composite figures containing combinations of rectangles, squares, parallelograms, trapezoids, triangles, semicircles, and quarter circles; and

    (D) solve problems involving the lateral and total surface area of a rectangular prism, rectangular pyramid, triangular prism, and triangular pyramid by determining the area of the shape's net.

  (10) Expressions, equations, and relationships. The student applies mathematical process standards to use one-variable equations and inequalities to represent situations. The student is expected to:

    (A) write one-variable, two-step equations and inequalities to represent constraints or conditions within problems;

    (B) represent solutions for one-variable, two-step equations and inequalities on number lines; and

    (C) write a corresponding real-world problem given a one-variable, two-step equation or inequality.

  (11) Expressions, equations, and relationships. The student applies mathematical process standards to solve one-variable equations and inequalities. The student is expected to:

    (A) model and solve one-variable, two-step equations and inequalities;

    (B) determine if the given value(s) make(s) one-variable, two-step equations and inequalities true; and

    (C) write and solve equations using geometry concepts, including the sum of the angles in a triangle, and angle relationships.

  (12) Measurement and data. The student applies mathematical process standards to use statistical representations to analyze data. The student is expected to:

    (A) compare two groups of numeric data using comparative dot plots or box plots by comparing their shapes, centers, and spreads;

    (B) use data from a random sample to make inferences about a population; and

    (C) compare two populations based on data in random samples from these populations, including informal comparative inferences about differences between the two populations.

  (13) Personal financial literacy. The student applies mathematical process standards to develop an economic way of thinking and problem solving useful in one's life as a knowledgeable consumer and investor. The student is expected to:

    (A) calculate the sales tax for a given purchase and calculate income tax for earned wages;

    (B) identify the components of a personal budget, including income; planned savings for college, retirement, and emergencies; taxes; and fixed and variable expenses, and calculate what percentage each category comprises of the total budget;

    (C) create and organize a financial assets and liabilities record and construct a net worth statement;

    (D) use a family budget estimator to determine the minimum household budget and average hourly wage needed for a family to meet its basic needs in the student's city or another large city nearby;

    (E) calculate and compare simple interest and compound interest earnings; and

    (F) analyze and compare monetary incentives, including sales, rebates, and coupons.
