Before the winter break, students finished our unit on decimal operations. The major units we have covered so far this year are as follows;
- Patterns and Rules
- Discovering patterns in tables and expressing those patterns using rules. Solving for missing values in those tables using the discovered rule.
- Discovering patterns in geometric series (When given a series of shapes, discovering the pattern and next set of shapes in that series)
- Equations, Inequalities, and Expressions
- Solve for missing values in equations.
- Write equations to describe real-world situations.
- Write inequalities to describe real-world situations and graph those inequalities on number lines.
- Understanding Fractions and Decimals
- Be able to convert between fractions and decimals.
- Order fraction and decimal numbers from least to greatest or from greatest to least.
- Find the prime factorization of numbers.
- Find the LCM or GCF of sets of numbers. Use GCF or LCM to solve real-world situations.
- Fraction Operations
- Add, subtract, multiply, and divide with fraction numbers. Use these skills to solve real-world situations.
- Decimal Operations
- Add, subtract, multiply, and divide with decimal numbers. Use these skills to solve real-world situations.
When we return from the break, we will begin our major unit on percents and ratios. By the end of the unit students should be able to do the following:
- Convert between fractions, decimals, and percents.
- Use percents to help solve real-world situations. For example, finding the total amount paid for items with taxes included or a coupon applied (percentage off) to the purchase.
- Use ratios to help find the percent of a situation.
- Use division to help find the percent of a situation.
The videos below review many of the major skills will be expected to know by the end of the unit.
What is a percent?
Finding a percent of a number.
What percent is it?
