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 be able to set up and identify proportions and solve for missing information.
TEKS: 6.02(C), 6.08(D), 6.03(C), 6.11(B), 6.13(A), 6.13(B)
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.
TEKS: 6.02b, 6.12a, 6.13b
Lessons:
Overview:Students will use 5th grade knowledge to compare and order decimals in written and numeric form. Reasonableness skills should be used in problem situations to judge sums, differences, products, and quotients of whole numbers. With decimals, operations are limited to addition and subtraction. Through real-life situations, students will classify numbers, including whole numbers, decimals, and integers.
Focus: Students will use their place value knowledge to solve real-life problems by performing various operations with decimals, such as converting metric units.
TEKS: 6.02b, 6.02c, 6.02e, 6.08d, 6.11a, 6.11d, 6.13b
