The Math-Play website offers online games in several crucial areas of seventh-grade math: adding and subtracting integers, basic algebra, solving equations, basic angles and planes and coordinates. The website also offers review activities and word searches to help students cement their math skills. The Math4Children website also offers math games for seventh-graders learning pre-algebra or algebra.
Jefferson Laboratory in Newport News, Virginia, offers a program to sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders called BEAMS. Starting in the sixth grade, students spend some of their school hours during a five-day period at the laboratory, participating in games and activities that flex their science and math abilities. Seventh-graders participate in activities such as building mock bridges and straw structures, tangrams and electromagnets. They also study communication and wind power.
Teachers also use math games targeted toward seventh-grade math students. Lori Mullarkey, a seventh-grade math teacher in Nebraska, uses single-player games to encourage her seventh-grade math students to enjoy math. Some of these games allow students to put together blocks and shapes, while others deal with rush-hour scenarios, undersea expeditions, navigation, squares and tangrams.
Fayette County Public Schools in Lexington, Kentucky, has compiled a list of math games and activities created by teachers in various schools in the system for their students. These activities are downloadable as PowerPoint presentations, and downloads are free. Several of the math games for seventh-graders deal with integers and math basics and are put together as games in the style of the television game show, "Jeopardy!" Teachers can also find templates to use to create their own math games for seventh-grade students.
Every school system in the United States has its own curriculum in all four core subjects: math, English, history and science. What may constitute seventh-grade math in one district may not be the same as the seventh-grade math curriculum taught in another district. In some cases, there may be minor differences in curriculum from district to district and state to state. Thus, not all seventh-grade math games are appropriate for every seventh-grade math class.
