In grade 7, students solve real world problems involving ratios, rates, proportions, rational numbers and geometric concepts and discuss (verbally or in writing) how they solve them

In grade 7, students solve real world problems involving ratios, rates, proportions, rational numbers and geometric concepts and discuss (verbally or in writing) how they solve them. Students analyze the problem (including what is given, not given, and what is being asked), identify what strategies are needed, choose an appropriate pathway, then make an initial attempt to solve the problem. Students analyze the result for validity and refine strategies if necessary.
