The focus of the math program at Augustine Hill School is to help students understand their world mathematically. Students need to understand how mathematics relates to the world around them. Understanding math in this way prepares students for the use of rote calculations and concepts found throughout their academic career. Methods employed in our math program include online learning, direct instruction, and application to real life situations.

In Grade 7, instructional time focuses on four critical areas:

(1) developing understanding of and applying proportional relationships

(2) developing understanding of operations with rational numbers and working with expressions and linear equations

(3) solving problems involving scale drawings and informal geometric constructions, and working with two- and three-dimensional shapes to solve problems involving area, surface area, and volume

(4) drawing inferences about populations based on samples
