Hello Parents –

We will have the unit 9 progress check Tuesday, May 14. Teachers will use the results of this progress check to inform our continued teaching of these challenging skills as we move into Unit 11. Please be sure to use the resources below to help your kids practice along with this jeopardy game.

Unit 9

Will focus on the links between fractions, decimals and percents names for numbers, with a special emphasis on percents. The students will begin with practice converting among fractions, decimals, and percents. Students then use grid pictures, the multiplication rule for renaming fractions, memorization of simple conversions, and a calculator for more complex conversions. Finally, students begin to apply whole-number multiplication and division algorithms to multiplication and division with decimals in the last two lessons of Unit 9.

Unit 9 has three main areas of focus:

*Equivalencies among fractions, decimals, and percents

*reinforce the use of a data table, survey data, and rank and compare data reported as percents

*introduce multiplication and division of decimals by whole numbers
