Solve one-step problems involving unit rates associated with ratios of fractions.
Clarifications:
Essential Understandings
Concrete:
- Use manipulates to add, subtract, divide or multiply ratios.
- Identify the placement of numbers in a ratio to the given context (the meaning of 5:1, five pencils per each week).
- Use tools (calculator, slide rule, base ten blocks) to manipulate the relationship.
- Given a scenario, find the two quantities in a ratio and answer a question (e.g., Reece has 25 pencils that must last five weeks. How many pencils may he use each week?”).
- Use numbers and expressions to calculate answers using unit rate.
- Understand the following concepts, symbols, and vocabulary: unit rates, ratios.

Cluster:
Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical 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.
