Grade 7 – Alberta Updated 2016 Math Curriculum – This resource covers all outcomes in the
Grade 7 – Alberta 2016 Math Curriculum - Strand: Patterns and Relations (Patterns, Variables
and Equations).
There are 230 activity sheets for your students to learn and practice the specific
outcomes in the curriculum. Using this resource will ensure that your students will be learning
the updated curriculum. We have studied the updated curriculum so that you can focus on
delivering the content as opposed to creating materials.
Some of the concepts that are covered:
• Increasing/Decreasing patterns using all 4 operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication
and division)
• Determining pattern rules to extend patterns
• Finding linear relations in our everyday lives
• Representing patterns in table of values
• Recursive and functional patterns
• Constant rates and initial values
• Translating linear relations into tables of values and graphs
• Finding term number “n” in a pattern using the linear relation
• Analyzing tables of values and graphs to draw conclusions and solve problems
• Representing patterns using algebraic expressions to help solve for any term in a pattern
• Linear patterns – analyzing patterns in graphs
• Positive and negative integers in patterns
• Using pictures and symbols to model preservation of equality
• Solving equations to find the missing values
• Representing real-world situations as equations
• Explaining the different between expressions and equations
• Evaluating expressions when given the value of a variable
• Use one-step linear equations of the form x + a = b to represent real-world situations
• Use linear equations of the form ax = b, ax + b = c, and x/a = b to represent real-world
situations

This is a comprehensive unit that will save you hours of planning! It has been tested and found
effective in helping students achieve the learning outcomes created by the Alberta Ministry of
Education.

A recursive relationship describes the pattern between successive numbers in one

of the rows/columns of a table of values. A functional relationship is a general rule
to describe the relationship between two columns/rows of numbers in a table of
values. We look across the table instead of beside.

When finding a random term in a pattern, we can use a variable. Often n is used to
take the place of the term number. When we use n, we can change the value to find
the term value for any term number.
We can find the value for n by looking at the pattern between the term number
and term value (functional relationship). To do this, we look across the table from
the term number to the term value.

A pattern is a repeated or predictable arrangement of numbers, shapes, colours, and more.

The traditional number sequence is a simple pattern – 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and so on.
We can find more complex patterns in our environment by looking for the
relationship between two variables. For example, how many times you blink each minute
for 10 minutes. There is a relationship between how many minutes go by and how many
times you blink.

Part 1 Think of examples of simple patterns in your environment (classroom)

Simple Patterns – 1 Variable

Ex. The colours on the wallpaper repeat in the pattern: blue, green, yellow

Part 2 Think of examples of two-variable patterns in your environment (classroom)

When we discover a pattern between two things (variables), we need to identify the term
number and the term value.
Example: determine the number of students and adults in a school if there are 20 times
more students than adults.
Clues
• There are two terms to quantify – students and adults
• There are 20 times more students than adults, so the number of students is adults x 20
• We can use adults as the term number. The letter a will represent the number of adults
• The number of students is the term value. The letter s will represent the number of
students
• The relation is: a x 30 = s or 30a = s

Scenarios Write the relations for each of the scenarios below

Scenario Relation
The number of chairs present if there is 1 chair (c) for every 1
Ex. c=s
student (s)
The number of wheels present in a collection of toy cars if each
1)
car has 4 wheels
The number of pencils there are in class if each student in class
2)
has 3 pencils each
The number of shoes that are in your class if each student has 2
3)
shoes
How many total cans collected for a food drive in a school if
4)
each class brings on average 25 cans
The number of students absent today if there is always 1 person
5)

Subtraction Integers Rules

To subtract integers, it is easiest to change the operation to addition and then
follow the addition rules. We can do this by using the rule – Keep, Flip, Change. We
keep the first number the same, flip the operation from subtraction to addition, and
then change the third number’s sign.
Example: 5 – (-6) = ? becomes 5 + 6 = 11

Keep the Flip the Change the

first operation sign of the next
integer integer

A recursive relationship describes the pattern between successive numbers in one

of the rows/columns of a table of values. A functional relationship is a general rule
to describe the relationship between two columns/rows of numbers in a table of
values. We look across the table instead of beside.

When finding a random term in a pattern, we can use a variable. Often n is used to
take the place of the term number. When we use n, we can change the value to find
the term value for any term number.
We can find the value for n by looking at the pattern between the term number
and term value. To do this, we look across the table from the term number to the
term value.

When we discover a pattern between two things (variables), we need to identify the term
number and the term value.
Example: determine the number of students and adults in a school if there are 20 times
more students than adults.
Clues
• There are two terms to quantify – students and adults
• There are 20 times more students than adults, so the number of students is adults x 20
• We can use adults as the term number. The letter a will represent the number of adults
• The number of students is the term value. The letter s will represent the number of
students
• The relation is: a x 30 = s or 30a = s

Scenarios Write the relations for each of the scenarios below

Scenario Relation
The number of chairs present if there is 1 chair (c) for every 1
Ex. c=s
student (s)
The number of wheels present in a collection of toy cars if each n = collection c = car
1)
car has 4 wheels n=cx4
The number of pencils there are in class if each student in class
2) n = 3s
has 3 pencils each
The number of shoes that are in your class if each student has 2
3) n = 2s
shoes
How many total cans collected for a food drive in a school if
4) t = 25c
each class brings on average 25 cans
The number of students absent today if there is always 1 person
5) a = s/10
absent for every 10 students in a class

Subtraction Integers Rules

To subtract integers, it is easiest to change the operation to addition and then
follow the addition rules. We can do this by using the rule – Keep, Flip, Change. We
keep the first number the same, flip the operation from subtraction to addition, and
then change the third number’s sign.
Example: 5 – (-6) = ? becomes 5 + 6 = 11

Keep the Flip the Change the

first operation sign of the next
integer integer

A variable is a letter that represents an unknown number. When we don’t know a

number, we can use a letter to take the place of the unknown number.
Example: 39 - n = 25
We can figure out the unknown number by balancing the equation. In this equation,
n = 14.

Question Find out the value of the variable

1) 32 - n = 26 2) n - 21 = 35 3) 52 - n = 41
n=6 n = 56 n = 11

4) 73 - 16 = p 5) 64 - p = 53 6) p - 32 = 50
p = 57 p = 11 p = 82

7) 87 - y = 61 8) y - 93 = 13 9) 102 - 13 = y
y = 26 y = 106 y = 89

10) 109 - t = 94 11) 124 - t = 101 12) 143 - t = 129

t = 15 t = 23 t = 14

13) 158 - a = 127 14) 174 - a = 142 15) 200 - a = 175

a = 31 a = 32 a = 25

Part 2 Calculate the change a customer gets when they buy something

When a customer buys something, the formula for calculating their change (c) is money
given (m) subtract the price (p) of the item. Therefore, c = m - p

m = 20 p = 12 c = 20 - 12 c=8 m = 80 p = 61 c = 80 - 61 c =19

m = 40 p = 19 c = 40 - 19 c =21 m = 100 p = 68 c = 100 - 68 c = 32

m = 60 p = 27 c = 60 - 27 c =33 m = 100 p = 44 c = 100 - 44 c =56

A variable is a letter that represents an unknown number. When we don’t know a

number, we can use a letter to take the place of the unknown number.
Example: 27 ÷ n = 3
We can figure out the unknown number by balancing the equation: n = 9.

Part 1 Find out the value of the variable

1) 50 ÷ n = 5 2) n÷8=3 3) s÷4=3
n = 10 n = 24 s = 12
4) 32 ÷ 4 = p 5) 28 ÷ p = 4 6) 56 ÷ r = 8
p=8 p=7 r=7
7) 42 ÷ n = 6 8) n÷5=8 9) t ÷ 11 = 7
n=7 n = 40 t = 77
10) 81 ÷ n = 9 11) 96 ÷ 8 = t 12) 63 ÷ 9 = p
n=9 t = 12 p=7
13) 64 ÷ n = 8 14) 63 ÷ n = 9 15) 56 ÷ s = 7
n=8 n=7 s=8
16) 28 ÷ s = 4 17) 12 ÷ 4 = s 18) 65 ÷ 5 = n
s=7 s=3 n = 13

Part 2 Calculate the area using the variables Length and Width
Servers at a restaurant share tips (t) equally at the end of the day. The number of
people that share the tips depends on how many servers (s) were working. We can use
a formula to find out how much money (m) each server takes home: m = t ÷ s

t = 150 s = 5 m = 150 ÷ 5 m = 30 t = 180 s = 3 m = 180 ÷3 m = 60

t = 80 s = 4 m = 80 ÷ 4 m = 20 t = 280 s = 7 m = 280 ÷ 7 m = 40

t = 200 s = 5 m = 200 ÷5 m =40 t = 440 s = 4 m = 440 ÷ 4 m =110
