Unit 2: Comparing Bits & Pieces

Key Concepts

Unit 2: Fractions, Decimals, Percents, Equivalence

• I can use ratio language and notation to compare quantities.
• I can distinguish between fractions as numbers and ratios as comparisons.
• I can use equivalence of fractions and ratios (proportions) to solve problems.
• I can recognize and find a unit rate to compare rates more easily.
• I can solve unit rate problems including those involving unit pricing and constant speed.
• I can find missing values in rate tables and plot the pairs on the coordinate plane.
• I can use fraction, decimal and percent benchmarks to compare numbers.
• I can convert between fractions, decimals and percents.
• I can find a percent of a quantity as a rate per 100.
• I can solve percent problems when given the part, the percent or the whole.
• I can use ratio reasoning (scale) to convert and compare measurement units (customary and metric).
