| Mathematics | Ganita Prakash Part 1 & 2 | Integers, simple equations, rational numbers, algebraic expressions | The first real algebra — the direct base for Classes 8–10 |
| Science | Curiosity | Heat, acids & bases, electric circuits, light, life processes | Physics/chemistry/biology begin as distinct strands |
| Social Science | Exploring Society: India and Beyond | Deeper history and geography themes | Builds the reading-and-connecting skill SST rewards later |
| English | Poorvi | Longer prose, structured writing | Comprehension speed starts to matter in every subject |
| Hindi | Malhar | Richer literature | Expression and vocabulary compound year on year |

The one thing to get right in Class 7
Integers and simple equations. Nearly every Maths difficulty in Classes 8–10 traces back to shaky sign rules and equation-handling from Class 7. An hour a week here saves a hundred later.
What a strong Class 7 year looks like
Algebra without gaps: every integers/equations exercise solved twice — the second time cold, a week later
Science strands: notice which chapters are physics, chemistry or biology — the labels help organise revision from now on
Writing every week: one paragraph in English and Hindi weekly; length grows naturally
Own summaries: two-line own-words summary at the end of every chapter, every subject
Daily quiz streak: the 5–10 minute daily habit should feel automatic by now
