COURSE OVERVIEW

Order of the units

Unit 1: Understanding and Representing Ratios

Students learn both concrete and abstract representations, including double number lines and tables, which they will be able to use throughout the year.

Unit 2: Unit Rates and Percent

• Students continue their study of ratios by extending the concept to rates and percentages.
• Students use the representations they learned in Unit 1 to reason through more complex ratio, rate, and percent problems.
• Later in Unit 6, students will revisit solving percent problems when they study solving equations.

Unit 3: Multi-Digit and Fraction Computation, and Unit 4, Rational Numbers

• Students focus on the number system.
• Students apply understandings to new computations with fractions, and expanding their understanding of the world of numbers to include negatives.

Unit 5: Numerical and Algebraic Expressions, and Unit 6, Equations and Inequalities

• Students lean on their work with the number system from Unit 3 to support their work with numerical expressions and solving equations.
• Students revisit ratio concepts from the first two units by representing relationships in the coordinate plane and with equations.
• Students also apply their equation skills to percent problems as another method to solve problems.

Unit 7: Geometry

• Students learn how composing and decomposing unfamiliar shapes into familiar ones can extend their ability to find area and volume.
• Students draw on knowledge and skills from major work of the grade covered in previous units of the year in order to determine measurements, understand formulas, and represent 2-dimensional shapes in the coordinate plane.

Unit 8: Statistics

• Students are introduced to the study of statistics.
• They learn how to represent sets of data and how using different measurements about the data set can be used to analyze the information and answer the statistical question.
