What’s on grade 7 math

The NJSLA-A reports grade 7 math in 4 categories. The practice set covers each of them:

Ratios and Proportional Relationships

  • Unit rates with fractions
  • Percent problems: tips, discounts, markups and percent change
  • Money: sales tax and simple interest

The Number System

  • Adding and subtracting positive and negative numbers
  • Word problems with negative numbers
  • Multiplying and dividing positive and negative numbers

Expressions and Equations

  • Combining like terms and expanding
  • Solving two-step equations
  • Solving two-step inequalities

Geometry and Statistics and Probability

  • Scale drawings and maps
  • Supplementary, complementary and vertical angles
  • Circumference and area of circles
  • Volume and surface area of prisms
  • Which side lengths and angles make a triangle
  • Random samples, and predictions from them
  • Comparing two groups by their means and spread
  • The probability of a simple event
  • Compound events: counting outcomes and their probability
  • The NJSLA-A checks the New Jersey Student Learning Standards (2023 NJSLS for ELA and mathematics).
  • The real grade 7 test: 46 items
  • Calculators: No calculator in grades 3-5. A basic four-function calculator in grade 6; check grades 7-8 with your school.

How to help at home

  1. Do one set, then talk

    After a set, look at the ones they missed together. Ask how they got their answer before saying what the right one is.

  2. Little and often

    A short set a few times a week does more than a long session the week before.

  3. Use real life

    Prices at the store, recipes, distances and times on a trip: grade-level math is everywhere.

  4. Keep it calm

    The test checks how the year went. A good night’s sleep helps more than cramming.

For the real test’s screens and tools, try the state’s official practice.
