UNIT ONE
Rates, Ratios, and Proportions
This unit introduces rates and ratios by connecting rate and ratios to whole number multiplication and division and using concepts of rate and ratio to solve problems. Students begin by using multiplication tables and Factor Puzzles to build the link between multiplication and equivalent ratios. They learn to distinguish between proportion and non proportion situations and how to solve rate, ratio, and proportion problems using different strategies. Students will learn about how a unit rate situation can be generalized across many different numbers, how they can put this information into a table, and how they can graph this information.
