Use ratios and reasoning to solve real-world mathematical problems (e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations).
Clarifications:
Essential Understandings
Concrete:
- Given a scenario students can use manipulatives to represent the ratio relationship. (e.g., Each person wants 2 eggs and there are 4 people, how many eggs do you need for the whole group?)
- Use manipulatives to represent data on a line graph (i.e., show the amount of dollars someone has earned over the course of a week).
- Use data presented in tables or graphs and manipulatives to answer questions about ratios.
- Given a scenario students can create a ratio relationship. (e.g., Each person wants 2 eggs and there are 4 people, how many eggs do you need for the whole group? Answer: 8 eggs: 4 people).
- Use a line graph to demonstrate real-life data (i.e., average temperatures across months of the year).

Cluster:
Understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve problems. (Major Cluster) :
Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.
