1. What are the four steps to problem-solving? The four steps to problem-solving are Understand, Plan, Solve and Check.2. What are some strategies for problem-solving? Typical strategies for problem-solving are: guess, check and revise; look for a pattern; make an organized list; draw a diagram; act it out; solve a simpler problem; work backwards; eliminate possibilities; use logical reasoning; make a model3. How do you add and subtract decimals? To add or subtract decimals, the decimal points must be aligned to align digits of the same place-value.4. What is the Greatest Common Factor and when is it used? The largest number that divides without a remainder into two or more given numbers is the greatest common factor (GCF). It is used to simplify fractions and in problem solving.5. What is the Least Common Multiple and when is it used? The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of two or more numbers is the smallest number that is a product of a whole number and the numbers. It is used in problem-solving and when adding and subtracting fractions.6. How do you add and subtract fractions? Fractions are added and subtracted when the denominators are common. Unlike fractions need to be renamed so they have a common denominator and then numerators are added or subtracted.7. How do you convert measurements in customary units? Customary units, (inches, feet, yards and miles) have conversion factors that are multiplied or divided. Going from larger units to smaller units, requires multiplication, and going from smaller units to larger units require division.8. How do you convert measurements in metric units? Metric units are related by multiples of ten. Going from larger units to smaller units, requires multiplication by a power of 10, and going from smaller units to larger units require division by a power of 10..9. When is a bar graph used? A bar graph is used to compare categories of data.10. When is a line graph used? A line graph is used to show how a set of data changes over a period of time.11. What are the key components to any graph? All graphs should have a title, labels on the horizontal and vertical axes, a consistent scale along each axis (they do not need to be the same on each axis).

1. What are some ways to model a part of a whole number? Typical models of fractions are parts of rectangles or circles, bar diagrams, pattern blocks and number lines2. What strategies can be used to estimate the product of fractions? Rounding off and/or using compatible numbers will give an estimate of the product of fractions.3. What models can be used for multiplying a fraction and a whole number? Repeated addition models (both pictorial and arithmetic), and shading rectangles are ways to model multiplication.4. What is the common algorithm for multiplying fractions and whole numbers? The whole number can be changed to a fraction and then the numerators are multiplied and the denominators are multiplied. Final answers must be in simplest form.5. How can multiplication of fractions be modeled? Each dimension of a rectangle can be divided into the number of parts indicated by each of the denominators and that creates a new number of parts in the whole. Shading the value of each fraction on a dimension, describes the new number of shaded units in the new number of units in the rectangle as a whole.6. What are the standard algorithms for multiplying fractions. Multiplying the numerators and then the denominators of fractions will give an answer that may then need to be simplified. Simplifying by dividing common factors from a numerator and denominator before multiplying is another standard algorithm.7. What model can be used when multiplying whole numbers and mixed numbers? Using a rectangle with dimensions the length of the whole number and mixed number can be shaded to show multiplication, and then the partial blocks can be combined for a final answer.8. What algorithms can be used to multiply mixed numbers and fractions or mixed numbers and mixed numbers? One way to multiply mixed numbers is to change them to improper fractions and then to multiply the fractions. It is also possible to multiply each component of each mixed number together and add the results.9. What is a model for dividing whole numbers by fractions? Diving a rectangle into the whole number of parts, and then each section into the denominator number of parts will set up a model that can then be sectioned off by the numerator number of sections. The final answer is the number of those sections.10. What is the standard algorithm for dividing by fractions? To divide by a fraction the reciprocal of the divisor is used as a multiplier. The final answer must be in simplest form.11. What is the standard algorithm for dividing mixed numbers by mixed numbers? The standard algorithm includes changing the mixed numbers to improper fractions and then dividing the fractions and simplifying the answer.

2. What is the process for finding equivalent ratios?2. Students can use the fraction form and multiply or divide the numerator and the denominator by the same common factor.3. How does a rate differ from a unit rate?3. A rate is a comparison of two quantities, in a unit rate, the rate has a denominator of 1 unit.4. What is a rate of change?4. The rate of change is usually a unit rate where one quantity changes in relation to another, ex. distance/time5. What is a ratio table? How can a ratio table be completed?5. A ratio table is filled with pairs of numbers that have the same ratio. A ratio table can be completed by looking for patterns in the table.6. What is the process of scaling? How are scale drawings related to ratios?6. Multiplying or dividing two related quantities by the same number is called scaling. Scaling forward makes the quantities bigger and scaling back makes the quantities smaller. Scale drawings use a scale which is a ratio to represent objects that are too large or too small to be drawn in actual size.7. What processes can determine if two ratios are equivalent?7. Two ratios are equivalent if both can be reduced to the same unit rate. Cross multiplying (cross products) will determine if two ratios are equivalent. Multiplying or dividing numerators and denominators horizontally by the same number will also determine equivalent ratios.

Text(Chapter/Pages) Chapter 4 Fractions, Decimals and PercentsOther Resources:


1. How can decimals be changed into fractions or mixed numbers? When read correctly, .4 is “4 tenths” and that can be written as a fraction and then simplified. A mixed number will have a whole number component with the fraction.2. How can fractions and mixed numbers be changed into decimals? Some fractions can be made into equivalent fractions that have denominators which are powers of 10 and when correctly can be easily converted to decimals. Other fractions must have the numerator divided by the denominator. Mixed numbers will have a whole number component in addition to the decimal.3. How is a repeating decimal written? A repeating decimal has a horizontal line over the portion of the decimal that repeats.4. How is a percent written as a fraction.

A percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100, ex. 45% is 45 out of 100 or 45

100 which should then be simplified.

5. How can a fraction be written as a percent? A fraction can be written as an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100, then the numerator is the percent.6. How can a percent be written as a decimal? A percent can be written as a fraction with 100 as a denominator, and that fraction can be changed to a decimal, or the percent can be divided by 100 and the % sign removed. Division by 100 moves the decimal point 2 places to the left.7. How can a decimal be written as a percent? A decimal can be written as a percent by multiplying the number by 100 and using a % sign. Multiplying a number by 100 moves the decimal point 2 places to the right.8. How are percents greater than 100% or less than 1% written as fractions and decimals? Percents greater than 100% will form improper fractions with a denominator of 100. That expression gets changed to a mixed number, and only the fraction part needs to be made into a decimal. Percents less than 1% can be divided by 100 and the % sign removed. Division by 100 moves the decimal point 2 places to the left. The decimal can be read correctly to make a fraction, and simplified as necessary.9. What models can be used to compare fractions? Fractions can be compared using fraction tiles, or number lines.10. What is the arithmetic process for comparing fractions? Fractions are easiest to compare when they have common denominators. Find the LCD (or any common denominator) and write equivalent fractions using the LCD, then compare the numerators.

For example, describe the expression 2 (8 + 7) as a product of two factors; view (8 + 7) as both a single entity and a sum of two terms.

c. Evaluate expressions at specific values of their variables. Include expressions that arise from formulas used in real-world problems. Perform arithmetic operations, including those involving whole-number exponents, in the conventional order when there are no parentheses to specify a particular order (Order of Operations).

6.NS.7 Understand ordering and absolute value of rational numbers.a. Interpret statements of inequality as statements about the relative positions of two numbers on a number line diagram.

For example, interpret –3 > –7 as a statement that –3 is located to the right of –7 on a number line oriented from left to right.

b. Write, interpret, and explain statements of order for rational numbers in real-world contexts. For example, write –3oC > –7oC to express the fact that –3oC is warmer than –7oC.

c. Understand the absolute value of a rational number as its distance from 0 on the number line; interpret absolute value as magnitude for a positive or negative quantity in a real-world situation. For example, for an account balance of –30 dollars, write |–30| = 30 to describe the size of the debt in dollars.

d. Distinguish comparisons of absolute value from statements about order. For example, recognize that an account balance less than –30 dollars represents a debt greater than 30 dollars.

6.EE.2b Identify parts of an expression using mathematical terms (sum, term, product, factor, quotient, coefficient); view one or more parts of an expression as a single entity. For example, describe the expression 2 (8 + 7) as a product of two factors; view (8 + 7) as both a single entity and a sum of two terms.

1. What are some basic geometric figures and what parts can be named on them? Basic geometric figures are: point, line, ray, line segment, plane, intersecting lines, parallel lines and perpendicular lines. Points are labeled with capital letters, lines are labeled by two capital letters and a line above them, a ray is labeled by two capital letters and a ray above them, a line segment is labeled with the capital letters of the endpoints of the segment and a segment above them, a plane is labeled by three capital letters of points on the plane.2. In what ways can pairs of lines relate to one another? Pairs of lines can be parallel (non-intersecting and staying the same distance apart), intersecting (they cross once), or perpendicular (they intersect to form right angles.3. What is an angle and how is it named? An angle is formed by two rays that meet at a common endpoint called a vertex. Angles are named with three capital letters, one from a side, the middle one from the vertex of the angle and the last from the other side.4. How can angles be measured? Angles are measured with a protractor that aligns the zero line on one side of the angle, and the vertex on the center of the protractor. There are two scales on the protractor, and the one to use is the one that matches where the angle lines up with 0 degrees. Angles less than 90 degrees are smaller than a right angle.5. How can angles be classified? Angles are classified according to their measures. Angles measuring exactly 90° are right angles, angles measuring less than 90° are acute angles, angles measuring more than 90° are obtuse angles, and angles measuring exactly 180° are straight angles.

Vocabulary: point, line, ray, line segment, plane, congruent, intersecting lines, perpendicular lines, parallel lines, angle, vertex, degree, right angle, acute angle, obtuse angle, straight angle.

1. How do you find the area of a parallelogram, or the missing dimension of a parallelogram, given its area and one dimension? The formula for the area of a parallelogram is A=bh. Given any two values you can substitute those values into the formula and solve for the value of the remaining variable.

2. How do you find the area of a triangle, or the missing dimension of a triangle, given its area and one dimension? The

formula for the area of a triangle is A=12

bh or A=bh2

3. How do you find the circumference of a circle? There are two common formulas for the circumference of a circle, C=π d (circumference = π times the diameter) and C=2πr (circumference = 2 times π times the radius)

4. How do you find the area of a circle? The area of a circle formula, A=π r2, can be used to find the area.5. How do you find the area of composite figures? The area of a composite figure is the sum of the areas of the regions that

make it.6. How do you find the volume of rectangular prisms and cubes? The Volume of a rectangular prism or a cube can be

found with the formula V=L xW x H . A specific formula for the volume of a cube V=s X s X s addresses the fact that a cube has equal measures for the length, width and height.

7. How do you find the surface area of rectangular prisms and cubes? The surface area of a rectangular prism or cube is the sum of the surface area of each face. The general formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism isSA=2LH +2 LW+2 HW , while the specific formula for a cube is SA=s X s X 6 because there are 6 faces with

1. What are the measures of central tendency and how are they found? The measures of central tendency are mean, median and mode. The mean is the average, the median is the middle number and the mode is the number that occurs most often

2. What is the range and what does it say about the data? The range is the difference between greatest and least values. It describes the spread of the data.

3. How can data be presented in a box and whisker plot? To make a box and whisker plot the median is plotted, dividing the rest of the data into two halves. Then the median of each half is plotted and a rectangle is drawn using these two medians as the ends of the rectangle. This gives 50% of all the data within the rectangle. Whiskers are the line segments connecting these medians to the minimum value or the maximum value. If there is an outlier, the outlier is plotted as a single point, but not used in any of the calculations for median, or connected with the whiskers.

4. Which measure of central tendency is most appropriate for a given situation? The mean is most appropriate when there is no extreme data. The median is used when the data has extreme values, and the mode is used when there are many repeated numbers and the question asks for the most likely number.

5. How is a data point determined to be an outlier? What impact does an outlier have? Students can determine when an outlier exists and when it affects the mean, median or mode

6. How is a stem and leaf plot made? The data in a stem-and-leaf plot is organized by place value. The stems are the digits in the greatest common place value, the leaves are the digits in the remaining place value. A back-to-back stem-

7. What information can be determined from a histogram? Students can determine which range of values is most/least common and comparative clumps of data

8. How can circle graphs be used to analyze data? Circle graphs are used when the total amount of data can be divided into fractional parts of a whole or percentage parts of 100%.

9. How can scale be used to create a misleading graph? A scale with shorter range will make differences in the data appear larger, just as a scale with a greater range will make differences in the data appear lesser. A broken scale may be used effectively or to make a misleading representation.

10. What is the mean absolute deviation and how do you find it? The mean absolute deviation is the average distance between each data value and the mean and it is found by finding the absolute value of the difference between each piece of data and the mean added together to get a sum which is then divided by the n number of observations (pieces of data). It is similar to the standard deviation but it doesn’t require using the square root.
