7th: Seventh grade continues to work on percent as a proportional relationship. Students practice with percent-off sales and percent-on tips. They also learn about percent change-- increase and decrease. At the end of the week we will review the vocabulary of similar figures (they're proportional!) so we can begin studying scale and scale factor.
8th: Students practice with the distributive property and prepare to solve linear equations, model relationships with linear equations, and compare linear equations.
