7th Grade Curriculum

  MATHEMATICS

Every subject at FCMS is viewed and taught with the Bible as a lens, and mathematics is no exception. The beauty and consistency of mathematical properties reflects the orderliness and precision of our unchanging God, and we would be amiss not to teach it in this light. Math courses are not lock-stepped and students are placed according to diagnostic test results. Courses available are General Math, Math Fundamentals, Pre-Algebra, and Algebra I.

GRAMMAR

In grammar class, students are challenged to fine-tune their use of one of God’s most amazing creations, the human language through Bob Jones University Press. Seventh grade grammar covers parts of speech, requires the analysis of sentence structure, and develops the students’ proper use of words.

  LITERATURE

Classic and contemporary literature selections are provided through Bob Jones University Press 7th grade literature textbooks. These thoughtfully chosen poems, novel excerpts, essays, and short stories will enrich a students’ literary knowledge and understanding. Class discussions are designed to enhance a students learning ability in critical analysis, biblical thinking, and understanding effective literary techniques.

HISTORY

Using the textbook, America the Beautiful Part 1, authored by Notgrass, coupled with a powerful nationwide project driven  program  by Students of History.  FCMS feels it is bringing materials that are both engaging and educational to Social Studies.  Through the use of relevant videos, primary sources, gallery walks, interactive projects, 3D power points, simulations, plus many other dynamic lessons, students become engaged and critical thinking skills grow. Our interactive, creative, and Christian Worldview history program truly comes alive for the students.
