Below are the Mastery Learning Targets, or priorities for all students to be successful when they advance to 7th Grade Math. Mastery (M) of these skills means the student has met the grade-level standard and is independently performing on grade level. Mastery may take time to reach, as foundational skills progress throughout the school year.

RATIOS AND PROPORTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS

• Calculates the price per one quantity and speed, such as miles per one hour. 

THE NUMBER SYSTEM

• Adds, subtracts, multiplies and divides positive fractional numbers. 

• Converts fractions to decimals.

• Adds, subtracts, multiplies and divides positive decimal numbers. 

• Plots ordered pairs on a coordinate plane.

• Identifies positive, negative and opposite numbers on a number line. 

• Finds the distance between points on a coordinate plane using absolute value. 

EXPRESSIONS AND EQUATIONS

• Simplifies expressions using the order of operations. 

• Writes expressions. 

• Identifies expressions that have the same value. 

• Writes and solves one-step equations. 

• Writes and solves one-step inequalities. 

GEOMETRY

• Calculates the surface area of 3D shapes. 

• Calculates the volume of rectangular prisms with whole number, fractional and decimal side lengths. 

STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY

• Calculates the mean, median, mode, range, and mean absolute deviation of a data set. 

• Describes the distribution of numerical data relating to the shape and spread of the data.
