Subject: Math

Learning goals: Sub-Unit 1: Units and Measurement (Lessons 1–3) • Use ratio reasoning to convert between units of measurement. • Explain why it takes more of a smaller unit or fewer of a larger unit to measure the same quantity. • Describe connections between units of measurement and the measurements of everyday objects. Sub-Unit 2: Unit Rates (Lessons 4–8 + Practice Day + Quiz) • Recognize and calculate two unit rates for the same ratio relationship. • Use unit rates to solve problems involving tables of equivalent ratios. • Identify and describe the two unit rates associated with a ratio (i.e., `\frac{a}{b}` and `\frac{b}{a}` for the ratio `a\ :\ b`).   Sub-Unit 3: Percentages (Lessons 9–14 + Practice Day) • Use ratio reasoning to determine unknown parts, wholes, and percentages. • Describe connections between percentages, ratios, and rates.
