CCSS	Code	THE NUMBER SYSTEM
7.NS.A	7N1	Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to add and subtract rational numbers.*
7.NS.1ab	7N11	Relate sums of rational numbers to movements or situations.
7.NS.1c	7N12	Relate subtraction of rational numbers to adding the opposite.
7.NS.1c	7N13	Find distances between rational numbers on a number line.
7.NS.1d	7N14	Add and subtract integers. In Grade 6, integers and rational numbers were introduced but not added or subtracted.
7.NS.1d	7N15	Add and subtract rational numbers.
7.NS.A	7N2	Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers.* In CCSS, all four operations with rational numbers are part of Cluster A. To make goal lists more manageable, this cluster has been divided into two parts.
7.NS.2a	7N21	Apply multiplication properties to rational numbers.
7.NS.2a	7N22	Interpret products of rational numbers in real situations.
7.NS.2b	7N23	Interpret quotients of rational numbers in real situations.
7.NS.2b	7N24	Multiply and divide integers.
7.NS.2c	7N25	Multiply and divide rational numbers.
7.NS.2d	7N26	Write rational numbers as decimals.
7.NS.3	7N27	Compute with rational numbers to solve problems.
7.NS.3	7N28	Solve multi-step problems with rational numbers.
CCSS	Code	EXPRESSIONS & EQUATIONS
7.EE.A	7.E.1	Use properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions.
7.EE.1	7E11	Add and subtract linear expressions with rational coefficients.
7.EE.2	7E12	Expand or factor linear expressions.
7.EE.2	7E13	Interpret related expressions in real situations.
7.EE.B	7E2	Solve real-life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations.
7.EE.3	7E21	Use operations with whole numbers to solve multi-step problems.
7.EE.3	7E22	Use fractions to solve multi-step problems.
7.EE.3	7E23	Use decimals to solve multi-step problems.
7.EE.3	7E24	Assess reasonableness of answers by using estimation.
7.EE.4a	7E25	Solve linear equations of the form px + q = r and p(x + q) = r. In Grade 6, students solved equations of the form x + p = q and px = q. The form p(x + q) = r is new for this level in most states, and should be solved by multiplying or dividing first, then adding or subtracting.
7.EE.4a	7E26	Write linear equations to solve word problems.
7.EE.4a	7E27	Relate algebraic solutions to arithmetic solutions.
7.EE.4b	7E28	Write and solve linear inequalities for situations.
7.EE.4b	7E29	Graph and interpret solutions to inequalities.
CCSS	Code	RATIOS & PROPORTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS
7.RP.A	7R1	Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems.*
7.RP.1	7R11	Calculate unit rates associated with ratios of fractions. For example, if 1/3 cup of water leaks from a faucet in 1/6 hour, what is the rate per hour?
7.RP.2a	7R12	Decide if two ratios or fractions form a proportion.
7.RP.2a	7R13	Find the missing value in a proportion.
7.RP.2b	7R14	Identify unit rates from tables, diagrams, or graphs.
7.RP.2b	7R15	Identify unit rates from equations or verbal descriptions.
7.RP.2c	7R16	Write equations for proportional relationships.
7.RP.2d	7R17	Interpret points on graphs of proportions.
7.RP.A	7R2	Solve multistep percent problems.* In CCSS, all proportional relationships including percents are part of Cluster A. To make goals more manageable, the cluster has been divided into two parts.
7.RP.3	7R21	Use percent to solve simple interest and tax problems.
7.RP.3	7R22	Use percent to solve markup and markdown problems.
7.RP.3	7R23	Use percent to solve problems about tips, commissions, and fees.
7.RP.3	7R24	Solve problems about percent increase or decrease.
7.RP.3	7R25	Calculate percent error. In many states, percent error is a new concept for Grade 7. If a length should be 10 inches but it is really 10.5 inches, the error is 0.5 inch. The percent error is 0.5/10 or 5%.
CCSS	Code	GEOMETRY
7.G.A	7G1	Draw, construct, and describe geometrical figures and describe the relationships between them.
7.G.1	7G11	Compute lengths and areas from a scale drawing.
7.G.1	7G12	Reproduce scale drawing using a different scale.
7.G.2	7G13	Draw triangles given measures of sides or angles. Problems that ask students to draw a triangle when given the side lengths are new to Grade 7 in most states. Students should draw the longest side first and mark the two endpoints. Then, using a compass, draw arcs from the endpoints to determine the intersection of the shorter sides.
7.G.2	7G14	Draw geometric shapes with given conditions.
7.G.3	7G15	Describe two-dimensional figures that result from slicing solids.
7.G.B	7G2	Solve real-life and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, surface area, and volume.
7.G.4	7G21	Recognize relationships between parts of a circle. Problems involving pi are new at this level.
7.G.4	7G22	Apply formulas for circumference and area of circles. See sample PPT for $1.
7.G.5	7G23	Solve equations to find supplementary, complementary, vertical, and adjacent angles.
7.G.6	7G24	Solve problems involving area and surface area.
7.G.6	7G25	Solve problems involving volume of rectangular prisms. Volume was introduced in Grade 5 and extended in Grade 6. At this level, problems should be more advanced.
CCSS	Code	STATISTICS & PROBABILITY
7.SP.A	7S1	Use random sampling to draw inferences about a population.
7.SP.1	7S11	Identify representative sampling methods.
7.SP.2	7S12	Use a sample to draw inferences about a population.
7.SP.2	7S13	Compare predictions from various samples.
7.SP.B	7S2	Draw informal comparative inferences about two populations.
7.SP.3	7S21	Visually compare the centers and spreads of distributions on dot plots.
7.SP.4	7S22	Use measures of center and variability to make inferences.
7.SP.C	7S3	Investigate chance processes and develop, use, and evaluate probability models.
7.SP.5	7S31	Compare probabilities and relate to likelihoods of events. Probability should receive a lot of emphasis. Grade 7 is the first year that probability is required.
7.SP.6	7S32	Use relative frequency of outcomes to approximate probability.
7.SP.7a	7S33	Calculate simple probabilities based on equally-likely outcomes.
7.SP.7b	7S34	Make predictions based on relative frequency, and compare results to predictions.
7.SP.8a	7S35	Calculate probabilities of compound events.
7.SP.8b	7S36	Create an organized list, table, or tree diagram for a compound event.
7.SP.8c	7S37	Design and use simulations of compound events.
