Unit 3

Fractions, Decimals, and Percents

"The focus of this unit is fractions, decimals and percents. The emphasis is on understanding the relationships between these three alternate forms. Patterns will be useful once again in conversions between fractions and decimals. Tools used to compare and order fractions will include

benchmarks, number lines, place values, equivalent fractions, and manipulatives such as fraction pieces and fraction strips. When working with fractions, decimals and percents, the use of manipulatives, technology, and paper and pencil will be encouraged. Estimating continues to be important as students develop number sense. A “sense” of whether or not an answer is correct will be critical to problem solving. Operations with decimals will be subject to the order of operations. Exponents will not be introduced until later grades. During this unit, students will examine the connections between fractions, decimals and percents and express them in all three forms. Percent problems will be limited to values between 1% and 100%." - Grade 7 Curriculum Guide

Since this unit contains a large amount of material we have decided to split the unit into two parts. See the links in the drop down menu to the top left to access these two parts.
