BIG – IDEA: NUMBER & FLUENCY

Number represents, describes, and compares the quantities of ratios, rates, and percent. Computational fluency and flexibility extend to operations with fractions

STEM Core Math: Fractions / Decimals / Percent

BC Content Area: Percent

·less than 1 and greater than 100 (decimal and fractional percent)

·What is ½% of 1 billion?

·The population of Vancouver increased by 3.25%. What is the population if it was approximately 603,500 people last year?

KA Decimals

KA Percent

BC Content Area: Fractions

·operations with fractions (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and order of operations)

·includes the use of brackets, but excludes exponents

·simplifying ½ ÷ 9/6 x (7 – 4/5)

KA Fractions

BC Content Area: Ratio

·numerical proportional reasoning (rates, ratio, proportions, and percent)

·two-term and three-term ratios, real-life examples and problems

·A string is cut into three pieces whose lengths form a ratio of 3:5:7. If the string was 105 cm long, how long are the pieces?

STEM Core Math: Unit Conversions

BC Content Area: Surface Area and Volume

·surface area and volume of regular solids, including triangular and other right prisms and cylinders

·strategies to determine the surface area and volume of a regular solid using objects, a net, 3D design software
