Number Sense & Place Value

📅 Week 1

Place value, divisibility rules, prime & composite numbers, prime factorization, GCF and LCM — the building blocks of all number work in Grade 7.

Big Ideas

  • Every digit has a specific place value — changing one digit can dramatically change a number's value.
  • Divisibility rules are shortcuts rooted in our base-ten number system.
  • Every whole number > 1 is either prime (exactly 2 factors) or composite (more than 2).
  • Prime factorization gives every composite number a unique set of building blocks.
  • GCF and LCM connect number sense to real-world situations like sharing and scheduling.
1
Place Value
Find the value of the underlined digit in 4703 821.
1
Write out the place value columns: 4 millions | 7 hundred-thousands | 0 ten-thousands…
2
The underlined digit 7 sits in the hundred-thousands column.
3
Value = 7 × 100 000 = 700 000
Answer: 700 000
2
Divisibility Rules
Is 7 236 divisible by 9? Show the digit-sum check.
1
Add all digits: 7 + 2 + 3 + 6 = 18
2
Is 18 divisible by 9? 18 ÷ 9 = 2 ✓ Yes.
3
Therefore 7 236 is divisible by 9.
Answer: Yes — digit sum 18 is divisible by 9
3
Prime Factorization
Write the prime factorization of 48 using exponents.
1
Build a factor tree: 48 = 2 × 24 = 2 × 2 × 12 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 6 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
2
Count the 2s: four 2s and one 3.
3
Write with exponents: 2⁴ × 3
Answer: 48 = 2⁴ × 3
4
Finding GCF
Find GCF(24, 36) using prime factorization.
1
24 = 2³ × 3 and 36 = 2² × 3²
2
Take the lowest power of each shared prime factor.
3
Shared: 2 (lowest power 2²) and 3 (lowest power 3¹)
4
GCF = 2² × 3 = 4 × 3 = 12
Answer: GCF(24, 36) = 12
5
Finding LCM
Find LCM(6, 9) using prime factorization.
1
6 = 2 × 3 and 9 = 3²
2
Take the highest power of each prime that appears in either number.
3
Primes involved: 2¹ and 3²

Answer: LCM(6, 9) = 18
6
GCF Word Problem
A farmer has 24 red and 36 white flowers. What is the greatest number of identical bouquets she can make using ALL the flowers?
1
"Greatest number of identical bouquets using all flowers" → find GCF.
2
GCF(24, 36) = 12 (from Example 4)
3
Each bouquet: 24÷12 = 2 red, 36÷12 = 3 white flowers.
Answer: 12 bouquets (2 red + 3 white each)
🪶 First Peoples Connection
Cedar baskets made by Coast Salish weavers often use repeating patterns with rows of exactly the same design. If a weaver uses 48 cedar strips and 36 bark strips to create identical rows, GCF(48, 36) = 12 tells her she can make 12 identical rows — each using 4 cedar strips and 3 bark strips. Mathematics supports design decisions that have been part of cultural practice for thousands of years.

Data & Probability

📅 Weeks 26–29

Data collection, circle graphs, central tendency, outliers, theoretical vs experimental probability, two independent events.

Basic Probability — covers single events, sample space, and expressing probability as fractions, decimals, and percents.
Mean, Median, Mode & Range — measures of central tendency with examples.
1
Central Tendency
Dataset: 4, 7, 9, 3, 7, 12, 5, 7, 8. Find mean, median, mode, range.
1
Order: 3, 4, 5, 7, 7, 7, 8, 9, 12
2
Mean: (3+4+5+7+7+7+8+9+12) ÷ 9 = 62 ÷ 9 ≈ 6.9
3
Median: middle value (5th of 9) = 7
4
Mode: 7 (appears 3 times)
5
Range: 12 − 3 = 9
Mean ≈ 6.9, Median = 7, Mode = 7, Range = 9
2
Two Independent Events
Flip a coin and roll a die. Find P(heads AND a 4).
1
Total outcomes: 2 × 6 = 12
2
Favourable outcomes: (H,4) = 1
3

3
Circle Graph — Central Angles

1
Percent: 140 ÷ 400 = 35%
2
Central angle: 35% × 360° = 0.35 × 360 = 126°
Answer: 126°
4
Theoretical vs Experimental
A die is rolled 60 times; 6 appears 14 times. Compare theoretical and experimental probability.
1
Theoretical: P(6) = 1/6 ≈ 16.7%
2
Experimental: 14/60 ≈ 23.3%
3
These differ — that's normal! With more trials, results get closer to theoretical.
Theoretical ≠ Experimental (but both are valid)
