Math Mammoth Grade 7-B Worktext
This book has gray-scale interior pages.
Math Mammoth Grade 7-B Worktext is the student worktext for the second half of grade 7 mathematics studies and part of the Math Mammoth Grade 7 curriculum.
Please A newer, 2025 edition, of this title is available on Amazon, both in full color and with gray-scale interior pages (b&w).
The curriculum meets and exceeds the Common Core Standards (CCS) for grade 7. It exceeds them because we study the Pythagorean Theorem, which actually belongs in grade 8 in the CCS.
We start out with a study of ratios and proportions. Students study unit rates, proportions, proportional relationships and graphing, scaling geometric figures, floor plans, and maps.
The next chapter provides thorough lessons on the concept of percent. Students learn to solve a wide variety of problems involving percentages, including percentage of change, percentages of comparison, and simple interest problems.
Geometry is our next focus. Students draw geometric figures using a protractor and a ruler, and they also learn some basic geometric constructions. The other themes of this chapter are various angle relationships, area and the perimeter of a circle, conversions between units of area and of volume, surface area, volume, and cross-sections when solids are sliced with a plane.
Next, we cover square roots, the Pythagorean Theorem, and its applications. I have included the Pythagorean Theorem in order to make the curriculum work as a pre-algebra course. You can omit the entire chapter if you are following the Common Core Standards for grade 7.
The next chapter is an introduction to probability. Besides learning the basic idea behind probability as the ratio of favorable events to all possible events, students compare experimental probabilities to theoretical ones in probability simulations and even design some on their own.
Lastly, the curriculum covers statistical concepts. The major areas of study are random sampling and learning to compare two populations using some basic statistical measures and graphs.

About the author
Maria Miller
281 books7 followersMaria Miller is a math teacher, author, and a homeschooling mom. She grew up in Finland and earned her master's degree in mathematics there in 1997.
Miller started writing math books in 2002, prompted by her experiences in tutoring homeschooled children. She felt the books they were using were inferior, especially when it came to conceptual understanding of mathematics. She began to write books that focus on the concepts and the "why" of mathematics, though not forgetting the "how" and the needful practice.
Eventually these materials turned into a complete math curriculum under the name Math Mammoth. Her books and videos have become popular and appreciated, both among parents and teachers. Math Mammoth materials and videos focus on number sense, mental math, conceptual understanding, algebraic reasoning, and word problems more than most other math materials out there.
