Ratios and Proportional Reasoning
The first unit we will be covering this year is on Ratios and Proportional Reasoning. This unit ties into the 7th Grade Common Core Math Standards.
During the unit, students will apply and extend previous understandings of ratios and proportions from 6th grade. More specifically, students will be able to solve proportions, evaluate if data is proportional from a table or graph, find the constant of proportionality from a table or graph, and identify and apply scale factors. They will compare and contrast proportional relationships to linear relationships using tables, graphs and equations.
They will also apply their understanding of proportional reasoning to solve problems with percents including percent of change, markups and discounts, taxes and gratuities, commissions and fees, and simple interest.
