Grade 7 Math Overview

Course Overview

Grade 7 Math includes introduction to Scientific Notation and Infographics. Students will relate concepts of decimals, ratios, rates, percent, exponents, combined with simple interest to solve real life problems and take informed decision financially. They will get ready for Middle school as some extended algebraic skill will be part of our focus. Measurements and representation of data will be integrated for better spatial sense and communication. Introduction to scientific notation is helpful for students taking advanced GCSE courses.

Reference videos are provided for basic support. For additional guidance contact Anil Kumar.

Engaging Minds Creatively is our holistic approach for development and application of social-emotional learning skills for strong foundation, stability, and continual growth.
We offer learning which supports creativity, problem solving, grasping new concepts, and applying them in daily life. With a blend of formal and informal learning we provide an environment that supports students’ natural curiosity, overcoming anxiety, to build confidence and develop critical thinking skills.

Our programs are highly interactive and designed for students globally.
