Unit Seven
Rates and Ratios with Fractions, Decimals, and Percents
This unit builds upon the concepts of ratios, rates, and proportions introduced in Unit 1. The concept of unit rate is extended to all ratios, and unit rates are used to solve proportions, including those with non-whole-number solutions. Students are introduced to ratios written in fraction form which is helpful when using another method for solving proportions -- cross-multiplication. The concept of ratios and proportional reasoning is also extended to include part-to-whole ratios, percent, and measurement conversions. Students apply all of these skills to solve real world problems.
*We will be breaking down Unit 7 into 2 parts. There will be a Part 1 test and a Part 2 test since there are so many different ideas.
