Clarifications:
Essential Understandings
Concrete:
- State a relationship to a quantity out of 100. These will need to be very small concrete numbers (e.g., select three from an object bundle of 100).
- Understand that a fraction is expressed as a percentage by converting it to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100.
