Grade 7 turns abstract: integers, algebraic thinking, and subjects that ask for real reasoning. Here is the year as Alberta schools teach it under the new curriculum — unit by unit, in order — so you can see what your child is working on right now, and what's coming next.
Alberta math runs as a sequence: each unit builds on the one before it. The week ranges below follow the school year from September; teachers vary pacing.
Divisibility rules for 2 through 10; adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing decimal numbers with order of operations.
Adding and subtracting positive fractions and mixed numbers with like and unlike denominators, in context.
Adding and subtracting integers concretely, pictorially and symbolically, including real-life contexts.
Worth watching: negative numbers feel like a trick until the number line becomes second nature. Watch for "-3 minus 5 = 2"-style sign slips.
Solving problems involving percents from 1% to 100%; constructing, labelling and interpreting circle graphs.
Representing linear patterns with expressions, tables and graphs; preservation of equality; solving one-step linear equations.
Radius, diameter, circumference and area of circles; area of triangles and parallelograms; the Cartesian plane and transformations.
Mean, median, mode, range and the effect of outliers; expressing probabilities of independent events as ratios, fractions and percents.
The temperature was −3°C and then dropped another 5 degrees. What is the temperature now?
How human activities and natural events affect ecosystems; food webs, cycling of matter, succession and environmental monitoring.
Plant structures and life processes; how plants are grown and selected for food and fibre; sustainable agricultural practices.
The particle model of matter applied to heat and temperature; thermal energy transfer, expansion, insulation and heat technologies.
Structural forms and materials; internal and external forces, loads and stability; how structures are designed to withstand forces.
Rocks, minerals and the rock cycle; weathering and erosion; earthquakes, volcanoes and evidence of geological change over time.
A metal spoon and a wooden spoon sit in the same hot soup. Why does the metal one feel hotter?
The distinct cultures, economies and ways of life of First Nations, French and British peoples in early Canada, and the relationships and alliances among them; where relationships involved tension or loss, treat it honestly at a general level and from multiple perspectives, without graphic detail.
The events, debates and compromises that led to Confederation in 1867 — the colonies, the conferences and the key figures.
Canada's expansion after Confederation — covering one or more of: the numbered treaties with First Nations, the Métis and the Red River period, and the building of the railway — presented factually and respectfully, focusing on causes, perspectives and lasting significance.
Immigration and settlement following Confederation — who came to Canada, why, and how newcomers shaped communities across the West.
How Canada has changed since Confederation — the growth of provinces and evolving identities; include honestly that some government policies harmed First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities, acknowledged respectfully at a general level, centring their resilience and the ongoing work of reconciliation — no distressing specifics as quiz facts.
Unlike math and science, the language curriculum isn't taught as a sequence of units — it's a set of skills that deepen all year: reading comprehension and inference, writing structure and conventions, vocabulary, and oral communication. French works the same way. Homework Hub practises these as grade-matched weekly skills — a reading passage with real comprehension questions, a sentence to fix, a short prompt to write to — rather than pretending there's a unit list.
Homework Hub generates fresh questions matched to these very units — in season, at your child's level, marked with hints that teach. You set the days; it does the rest.

School boards and teachers vary pacing — week ranges are a typical rhythm, not a rule.
