Students are able to:
Represent ratio and rate situations using a variety of strategies (e.g., tables of equivalent ratios, changing to unit rate, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, equations, and plots on coordinate planes).
Use ratio, rates, and multiplicative reasoning to explain connections among representations and justify solutions in various contexts, including measurement, prices and geometry.
Understand the multiplicative relationship between ratio comparisons in a table by writing an equation.
Plot ratios as ordered pairs.
Solve and justify solutions for rate problems including unit pricing, constant speed, measurement conversions, and situations involving percents.
Solve problems and justify solutions when finding the whole given a part and the percent.
Model using an equivalent fraction and decimal to percents.
Use ratio reasoning, multiplication, and division to transform and interpret measurements. Understanding:
Students understand that:
A unit rate is a ratio (a:b) of two measurements in which b is one.
A symbolic representation of relevant features of a real-world problem can provide for resolution of the problem and interpretation of the situation.
When computing with quantities the transformation and interpretation of the resulting unit is dependent on the particular operation performed. Diverse Learning Needs:
