FRACTIONS, DECIMALS, RATIO AND PERCENT - LEARNING OUTCOMES
This year you will be learning about the relationship between Fractions, Decimals, Ratios and Percents! You will get to see how easy it is to convert numbers from one form to the other once you understand each concept on its own. Please see below the learning outcomes that we will address:
This year you will be learning about the relationship between Fractions, Decimals, Ratios and Percents! You will get to see how easy it is to convert numbers from one form to the other once you understand each concept on its own. Please see below the learning outcomes that we will address:
- Relate improper fractions to mixed numbers and mixed numbers to improper fractions.
- Place a given set of fractions including mixed numbers and improper fractions on a number line, and explain strategies used to determine position.
- Translate improper fractions and mixed numbers between concrete, pictorial and symbolic forms.
- Identify and describe ratios from real life contexts and record them symbolically.
- Express a given ratio in multiple forms.
- Translate a ratio from a given concrete ratio to a pictorial representation and from a pictorial representation to a concrete ratio.
- Demonstrate an understanding of percent (limited to whole numbers), concretely, pictorially and symbolically.
- Express a given percent as a fraction and a decimal.
- Identify and describe percents from real-life contexts, and record them symbolically.
- Problem Solving involving fractions, decimals, ratios and percents.
PATTERNS AND RELATIONS - LEARNING OUTCOMES
Patterns are key to everything we do in math. This year we will learn to:
Patterns are key to everything we do in math. This year we will learn to:
- Represent and describe patterns and relationships using graphs and tables
- Demonstrate an understanding of the relationships within tables of values to solve problems
- Represent visually a pattern to clarify relationships and verify predictions
- Represent generalizations arising from number relationships, using equations, with letter variables.
- Express a given problem as an equation in which a letter variable is used to represent an unknown number.
- Demonstrate and explain the meaning of preservation of equality concretely and pictorially.
- Problem Solving
PERIMETER, AREA AND VOLUME - LEARNING OUTCOMES
Calling all builders, cooks and engineers of the future! It’s time for measurement! Area, Perimeter and Volume are used by almost everyone on a daily basis! These important skills are required to build everything from complex skyscrapers to the fence in your backyard! Volume also helps us in several daily activities including packaging, bargain shopping and cooking! Please see all of the important concepts we will be learning in this unit:
