This week we are going to try using our digital textbook to review and learn about ratios, unit rates, and proportions.
Monday - We will review the definition of a ratio, find equivalent ratios, and simplify ratios with different units. This information can be found in Chapter 6 Section 1 of the digital textbook. If you can not remember how to log in to the book click here.
Tuesday - We will find unit rates and use them to find other equivalents. We will be discussing unit cost, price comparison, better buy, etc. Our lesson will be Chapter 6 Section 2 in our digital textbook
Wednesday - We will learn to solve proportions. We will solve them like an equation. We will also have our 3rd Quiz over our Fraction to Decimal Equivalents.
Thursday - We will complete a hallway activity in groups over unit rate and proportions. This activity will test the students ability to determine items that are a better buy.
Friday - Parent/Teacher Conference Day - Holiday for Students
If you would like to come and discuss how your child is doing in class please send me an email with a time you would like to come visit and I will schedule you into a slot around that time. If your child seems to be doing fine you do not have to come unless you just want to.
Also, remember Monday, Nov. 3rd is a Teacher Staff Development day so it is also a Student Holiday.
