A Thematic Mathematics Project for Grade 7
This year-long project is divided into three parts and reinforces skills that lay a foundation for algebra, such as measurement, fractions, decimals, percents, and proportions.

Rectangular Prisms Surface Area
Students will calculate the area of rectangular prisms.

Floor Designs
Students design a new bedroom tile floor by calculating the perimeter and area of the floor.

The Geometry of Circles
Students will determine the relationship between the circumference and diameter of a circle.

Module Math
Students will review and perform geometric operations involving cylinders and cubes.

Flowchart
Students write about a feedback loop encountered during the day using a flowchart diagram.

SEM
Students will determine the surface area of an irregular shape.

Parachute Area Versus Drop Time
Students will study parachute area and its relationship to drop time.

Learning About Length, Area, Perimeter, and Volume of Similar Figures Using Interactive Figures:
Using this interactive figure, students have an opportunity to experiment with rectangles of different shapes and scale factors to observe and interpret the changes in perimeter and area.

Understanding the Pythagorean Relationship Using Interactive Figures:
The interactive figure in this activity helps students understand the Pythagorean relationship and gives them experience with transformations that preserve area but not shape. 

Building a Pyramid:
Students build a scale model and determine its volume.

Volume and Surface Area: 
Two problem solving activities incorporating a study of perimeter and area.
 

Length, Perimeter, and Area: 
This lesson is designed to examine the mathematical concepts of length, perimeter, and area.

Perimeter and Area: 
A series of graphics that illustrate the relationship between area, volume, and perimeter of various geometric figures.
