My 7 year old will procrastinate for a long time, get up sharpen pencil, ask to go out of the classroom to avoid doing work. At home will do the same. The work is not too hard. When he finally does the work he can do the work. Any tips?

The task might be too overwhelming for him to know where to begin. A 7 year old isn't inherently lazy. Any kid wants to be successful and feel pride in his work and make morah and mommy proud of him. So you have to figure out what is standing in his way of accomplishing that

The tasks are not too hard. Even when we sit with him and remind him the instructions he says "I already know" and tries to avoid the work more.

It could be anxiety. Teach him to take in a slow in breath to the count of 4 and let it out to the count of 6 and then try the work. It can help calm him down.
