Lessons:
Focus: Students will use prior knowledge to estimate the measurement of angles, perimeter, area, volume, and circumference. Students will also apply their knowledge of basic measurement to explore the relationships between the radius, diameter, and circumference of a circle.
TEKS: 6.6(C), 6.8(A), 6.11(A), 6.11(D), 6.12(A)
Lessons:
Overview: Students will model and use percents in real-life situations. Connect the understanding of the relationships between fractions and decimals and apply that knowledge to percentages and the conversions between these different forms of rational numbers. Students will use their knowledge of percents to analyze and display data in a circle graph.
Focus: Using prior knowledge of proportions and percents, students will be able to transfer data between tables and circle graphs.
TEKS: 6.03(b), 6.10(c), 6.11(c), 6.12(a)
Lessons:
Overview: Students will connect the understanding of the relationships between fractions and decimals.
Focus: Students will use their prior knowledge of fractions and decimals to make a connection between the models of fractions and decimals.
TEKS: 6.11(c), 6.12(a)
Lessons:
Overview:Students will use prior knowledge of equivalent fractions in the introduction of ratios and proportions. Students will use models and tables to identify proportional relationships in various situations, using 5th grade prior knowledge of basic perimeter and area of geometric figures. Missing information will be found using proportions.
Focus: Students will use models and tables to identify proportional relationships in various situations, using 5th grade prior knowledge of basic perimeter and area of geometric figures. Proportions will be introduced as a method to convert units of measurement.

Lessons:
Overview:Using prior knowledge of Greatest Common Factors and Least Common Multiples, students will model, compare, add, and subtract fractions and mixed numbers with like and unlike denominators. Answers should be judged for reasonableness. Customary and metric rulers will be used to demonstrate knowledge of the use of fractions in measurement.
Focus: Students will apply their prior knowledge of modeling the addition and subtraction of fractions to solve problems involving real-life situations.
