A cumulative review and assessment of ratio and rate concepts through a 'Lab Challenge'.
Students solve complex, multi-step ratio problems using a variety of visual models.
Students find the whole given a part and the percent, or find the part given the whole and percent.
Students define percent as a rate per 100 and represent percents using 10x10 grids.
Students solve problems involving constant speed using unit rates and ratio reasoning.
Students apply unit rate reasoning to find the 'better buy' in shopping scenarios.
Students transition from ratios to unit rates, understanding the concept of 'per 1'.

Mastering transitions between decades from 20 to 50.
Intensive focus on backward number sequences from 20 down to 10.
Focus on numeral identification and forward sequences for numbers 11-20.
Consolidation of skills where students compare varied pairs of two-digit numbers and record results using appropriate symbols and mathematical reasoning.
Focusing on numbers where the tens digits are different, emphasizing that the tens digit is the primary factor in determining which number is greater.
Focusing on numbers with the same tens digit to understand that when tens are equal, we look at the ones digit to determine the relationship.
Introduction of the symbols <, >, and = as tools to record the relationship between two numbers, connecting them to the language of 'greater than' and 'less than'.
Students compare two numbers visually using base-ten models to identify which is 'greater' and which is 'less' before introducing formal symbols.
Students build two-digit numbers using base-ten models to understand that the tens digit represents the number of groups of ten and the ones digit represents the number of leftovers.
Synthesizes all lab skills to solve word problems and create original equations. Students prove their mastery as Lead Equation Scientists.
