Last week we began a unit over ratios, unit rates, proportions, and percents. This series of lessons are probably the most important and most useful lessons we will cover because students will use them in one form another for the rest of their lives. We started week learning how to convert fractions to decimals. We were assigned 41 Fraction to Decimal Equivalents to memorize. We have been working on them for a week now and will continue to practice this week for a series of 5 minute quizzes. Please make sure you are studying.

This week we will be:
Monday - Solve Proportions using cross multiplication
Tuesday - Write and Solve Proportions from Word Problems
Wednesday - Find Percent of a Number using Multiplication
Thursday - Calculate Sales Tax, Discount, and Tip
Friday - Complete a Hallway activity over Proportions
