Math Mammoth Grade 7-A worktext (International version) is the first part of a complete math curriculum for 7th grade. This is a pre-algebra course, and students can continue to algebra 1 after studying it.
We start out with an introduction to basic algebra, reviewing the order of operations, the concepts of an expression and equation, and the distributive property. In chapter 2, we study integers and their operations. In the next chapter, students study simple one-step equations. Chapter 4 is titled Rational Numbers. The goal is to be able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide both positive and negative fractions and decimals. The last chapter in part 7-A focuses on linear equations and using those in simple word problems. We also study linear inequalities and graphing.
This worktext is customised for the international audiences in these aspects:
* The curriculum teaches the metric measurement units. Imperial units, such as inches and pounds, are not used.
* The spelling conforms to British international standards (British English).
* Page (paper) size is A4.
* Large numbers are formatted with a space as the thousands separator (such as 12 394). (The decimals are formatted with a decimal point, like in the US version.)
In money-related word problems, the book uses the symbol "$" (dollar).
The part 7-B, an answer key book, and a book containing cumulative reviews and chapter tests are available for purchase separately on Lulu.
