Math 7 · Two Moves and a Sign

Two-step equations, negative solutions, fraction coefficients, inequalities — the algebra that measures things — and the geometry of angles, circles and similar shapes. Every quarter’s build needs a number this ladder produces.

The squares are a picture of a course — how much of each core subject its own rooms carry, read from the rooms’ text — never a score of a student. Every course in a lab is graded to the core across the board; the squares say which columns it feeds most.

WEEKS 1–9
THE WEEKS · THE ROOMS EACH ONE OPENS
WK 1–4
The order, then two moves
Undo in reverse order; two-step equations on the beam.
WK 8–9
THE PROJECT · WHAT THE QUARTER IS FOR
The Recovery Number
The question. How fast does your heart come back down — and what equation gives the recovery number?
The make. The Recovery Number — the build on the Science Floor, in the Movement Floor: the number, the count, the sheet.
The evidence. The recovery sheet with the two-step equation solved, handed in through the Science Floor
HS-LS1-3MS-LS1-37.EE
The sign and the fraction
WEEKS 10–18
THE WEEKS · THE ROOMS EACH ONE OPENS
WK 10–12
Negative solutions
When x comes out below zero, and why that is fine.
WK 13–16
Fraction coefficients
Multiply through; the coefficient as a fraction.
WK 17–18
THE PROJECT · WHAT THE QUARTER IS FOR
What Your Biceps Really Lifts
The question. What does your biceps really lift — and why is the fraction the whole answer?
The make. What Your Biceps Really Lifts — the build on the Science Floor, in the Movement Floor: the number, the count, the sheet.
The evidence. The lever sheet with the fraction-coefficient equation solved, handed in through the Science Floor

THE WEEKS · THE ROOMS EACH ONE OPENS
WK 19–22
Inequalities
Greater than, at least, no more than — written and solved.
WK 23–25
Angles
Complementary, supplementary, vertical, the triangle’s 180.
WK 26–27
THE PROJECT · WHAT THE QUARTER IS FOR
The Shadow Stick
The question. Why is the shadow longer in December — and what angle is the Sun making?
The make. The Shadow Stick — the build on the Science Floor, in The Ground: the number, the count, the sheet.
The evidence. The shadow-stick sheet with the angle computed and the inequality for the season written, handed in through the Science Floor
MS-ESS1-1MS-ESS2-67.EE7.G
Circles and similar shapes

WK 28–31
Circles
Circumference and area; pi as a ratio you measure.
WK 32–34
Similar shapes
Scale factors; the missing side.
WK 35–36
THE PROJECT · WHAT THE QUARTER IS FOR
How Big Is Small
The question. How big is small — and what scale factor turns the cell into something you can draw?
The make. How Big Is Small — the build on the Science Floor, in the Studio: the number, the count, the sheet.
The evidence. The scale sheet with the similar-shape ratios worked, handed in through the Science Floor
MS-LS1-1HS-LS1-27.G

A course is a quarter, a semester or a year — nine, eighteen or thirty-six weeks — a project a quarter. Offered as the year, a semester or a quarter, it is the same course seen through a window. A lab is a family: its year, each of its tracks as a course, and its rooms. The evidence is what a student hands in through the room; the Report reads it from there. Nothing in the catalog is a grade.
