LAC 28:CXLII.1701. Grade Level Foundational Skills

A. By the end of grade 7, mathematically proficient students can reliably use all prior foundational skills and the skills foundational to grade 7 to engage in grade-appropriate mathematical tasks. This list does not represent the full depth of learning expected in grade 7, but consists of the foundational skills required by the standards. 1. Fluently add, subtract, multiply, and divide positive and negative rational numbers in the form of whole numbers, fractions, and decimals. 2. Accurately convert a rational number to a decimal, recognizing the decimal form of rational numbers. 3. Use properties of operations to add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients to include multiple sets of grouping symbols. 4. Fluently solve one-variable equations.
