Math Unit 6

Later this week we will begin unit six in math. Below are the essential questions we will work toward answering, and the learning targets for the unit.

Essential Questions:

How can I use fractions, decimals and percents in everyday life?
• How can I communicate data in a way that others can easily understand?

Learning Targets:

By the end of the unit, students will be able to...

• Describe features of data using landmark vocabulary: minimum, maximum, mode, and median.
• Interpret and represent data on graphs and plots.
• Find common denominators for fractions.
• Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators.
• Identify how sample size affects the accuracy of data.

Students will be able to monitor their progress using a rubric to determine their strengths and areas for growth.
