Lesson 1:
Addressing:
NC.6.RP.2
Building On:
NC.4.MD.1
NC.5.MD.1
I can see that thinking about “how much for 1” is useful for solving different types of problems.
Lesson 2:

NC.2.MD.3
NC.4.MD.1
NC.5.MD.1
When I read or hear a unit of measurement, I know whether it is used to measure length, weight, or volume.
I can name common objects that are about as long as 1 inch, foot, yard, mile, millimeter, centimeter, meter, or kilometer.
I can name common objects that weigh about 1 ounce, pound, ton, gram, or kilogram, or that hold about 1 cup, quart, gallon, milliliter, or liter.
Lesson 3:
Addressing:
NC.6.RP.3
Building Toward:
NC.6.RP.3
Building On:
NC.2.MD.2
When I know a measurement in one unit, I can decide whether it takes more or less of a different unit to measure the same quantity.

Lesson 4:
I know that when we measure things in two different units, the pairs of measurements are equivalent ratios.
I can convert measurements from one unit to another, using double number lines, tables, or by thinking about “how much for 1.

Lesson 5:
Addressing:
NC.6.RP.2
NC.6.RP.3
Building On:
NC.5.NF.3
I understand that if two ratios have the same rate per 1, they are equivalent ratios.
When measurements are expressed in different units, I can decide who is traveling faster or which item is the better deal by comparing “how much for 1” of the same unit.

Lesson 6:
I can choose which unit rate to use based on how I plan to solve the problem.
When I have a ratio, I can calculate its two unit rates and explain what each of them mean in the situation.

I can give an example of two equivalent ratios and show that they have the same unit rates.
I can multiply or divide by the unit rate to calculate missing values in a table of equivalent ratios.

Lesson 11:
I can use double number line diagrams to solve different problems like “What is 40% of 60?” or “60 is 40% of what number?
Lesson 12:
I can use tape diagrams to solve different problems like “What is 40% of 60?” or “60 is 40% of what number?”
Lesson 13:
Addressing:
NC.6.RP.4
Building Toward:
NC.6.RP.4
Building On:
NC.4.NF.4
NC.5.NF .4
When I read or hear that something is 10%, 25%, 50%, or 75% of an amount, I know what fraction of that amount they are referring to.
