This purposeful unit for fractions, decimals and percentages includes 8 lessons, and embeds real life scenarios and the sustainable development goals (SDGs) throughout: Lesson 1 - explores how to simplify fractions and why, related to highest common factors (HCFs). Lesson 2 - focuses on how to compare fractions by using multiples to find the common denominator, and why. Lesson 3 - identifies the purpose and precision of thousandths in decimal and fraction form. Lesson 4 - illustrates the purpose of percentages and how they relate to fractions and decimals (FDP) using 100 grids. Lesson 5 - investigates the equivalence of key benchmark fractions, decimals and percentages (FDP) using 100 grids and their purpose in everyday life. Lesson 6 - focuses on how to convert fractions into percentages, and decimals by converting denominators into 100 first Lesson 7 - uncovers how to compare fractions, decimals and percentages (FDP) by converting them and mapping them on a number line. Lesson 8 - gives students the opportunity to apply their understanding of fractions, decimals and percentages (FDP) to interpret data related to the sustainable development goal of ending poverty (SDG 1). Knowledge: I know that fractions, decimals, and percentages are just different languages for the same value. I know that percent means “parts per hundred.” I know the value of digits up to three decimal places (tenths, hundredths, and thousandths). I know that multiplying or dividing the numerator and denominator by the same number keeps the fraction’s value equal. Skills: I can simplify a fraction into its smallest form by finding common factors. I can find a common denominator so I can compare two different fractions. I can convert a fraction into a percentage by scaling it to a denominator of 100. I can order a mix of fractions, decimals, and percentages on a number line. What’s Included?

This purposeful unit for scaling, ratio & proportion includes 5 lessons, and embeds real life scenarios throughout: Lesson 1 - explores how to keep shapes similar by enlarging or reducing by the same multiplier. Lesson 2 - focuses on how to apply scale factors to create similar shapes, both on and off coordinate grids. Lesson 3 - explores how to interpret and create scale drawings through designing blueprints for parks and client bedrooms. Lesson 4 - focuses on scaling recipes and currencies for hotel guests for consistency. Lesson 5 - focuses on using and applying ratio and proportion by scaling down the wonders of the world for a pocket museum. Knowledge: I know that similarity in geometry means shapes have identical angles and their sides are changed by the same multiplier. I know that a scale factor describes how much an object has been enlarged or reduced. I know that proportion involves two ratios that are equivalent, maintaining the same relationship regardless of scale. Skills: I can identify similar shapes by calculating the ratio between their corresponding sides. I can use a scale factor to draw an enlargement of a shape on a grid. I can apply proportional reasoning to adjust measurements. What’s Included?
