7th Grade Math Curriculum – TEKS

A perfect solution for the busy 7th grade math teacher or the school with limited resources! This curriculum is standards-based and designed specifically for Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS).  

The curriculum is divided into 10 units with an additional unit to prepare for state testing.  Additionally, you will receive spiral warm-ups, “I Can” statements, back to school review activities, and year-end assessments.

• Unit 1 – Numbers and Operations
• Unit 2 – Proportionality
• Unit 3 – Linear Relationships
• Unit 4 – Equations and Inequalities
• Unit 5 – Plane Geometry and Similarity
• Unit 6 – Surface Area
• Unit 7 – Volume
• Unit 8 – Probability
• Unit 9 – Data and Statistics
• Unit 10 – Personal Financial Literacy
• Unit 11 – TEKS Test Prep and Review

Each unit includes:

1. Teacher planning resources: 

Unit Overviews and Pacing Calendar

To ensure vertical alignment and create a cohesive content base, unit overviews provide you with a foundational understanding of where students are and where they need to go. Each unit overview offers teacher tips that address engagement ideas or student struggles to streamline your planning. 

While some students will need more time, and others will be ready to move on, the flexible pacing calendars give you a baseline to implement. From there, you can tweak the pacing for your students, but all of the prep work has been done for you.

2. Classroom resources and activities:

Guided Notes, Hands-On Activities, Independent Practice

The guided notes provide visuals and scaffold the concepts in such a way that students refer back to them — a teacher’s dream! Real-life application and problem-solving strategies have been incorporated throughout the units to ensure that your students can apply the concepts.

Each unit includes at least six hands-on activities to support cooperative learning, higher-level thinking skills, and student practice in a fun way! Teachers have commented that they love hearing their students using academic language and justifying their reasoning.

A short, creative independent practice is included for each day. Some teachers choose to assign independent practices as homework, while others use them in math stations with small groups.

3. Classroom Assessments: 

Editable Unit Tests, Self-Grading Google Form Test

Each unit includes at least one quiz and an editable unit test. This allows you to customize the unit test to meet the needs of your students.

All of the unit tests are available as a Google Form for those who would like to utilize technology to auto-grade and disaggregate data.  Some of the test questions have been slightly adjusted to integrate with Google Form technology.
