Excellence is not an option, its an expectation!
Lesson/Explore Grade 8 Lesson 1: Fractions, Decimals, Percents I can record the percent, fraction, and decimal forms of a quantity shown by a representation on grid paper. Big Ideas Math with Teacher P. 239-241 #6 (c, d), 7 (a, c), 8, 9, 12 (a, b), 13 (a, b), 14 (a, b) P. 246-247 #5 (a, c, d), 6 (a, c), 10 a, 11, 12, 15. Math Talk (Essential Questions)
What is the general rule/process for converting between percents and decimals? What is the process for converting decimals to fractions? What is the process for converting percents to fractions? What is the process for converting fractions to decimals? (consider situations when the denominator is a multiple of 10, and also when the denominator is not a multiple of 10) What is the key idea in using a given ratio to create equivalent ratios? Why can we only write part-to-whole ratios as fractions, and not part-topart ratios as fractions? What does it mean to write a ratio in simplest form? What are the two methods for comparing ratios? How is comparing ratios similar to comparing fractions? What is the difference between a rate and a unit rate? What process do we use for comparing rates? Which method for comparing ratios is this similar to?

What is a percent methods for converting between

fractions, decimals, and percents. methods for calculating percents calculating percents greater than 100%

Grade 8 Lesson 2: Ratios I can identify and explain ratios and rates in familiar situations

Different types of ratios: two-term ratio,

three-term ratio, part-to-part ratio, part-towhole ratio. Representing part-to-whole ratios as fractions Writing equivalent Ratios Comparing ratios (2 methods)

P. 266-267 #4, 5, 9 P. 274 #6, 9, 10 P. 284 #5, 7

Grade 8 Lesson 3: Rates Demonstrate (orally, through arts, concretely, pictorially, symbolically, and/or physically) the difference between ratios and rates.
Grade 8 Lesson 4: Percents, Ratios, Rates Problems I can solve problems involving rates, ratios, and/or probabilities. I can apply understanding of percents to solve problems.

What is a rate? What does a rate tell

us? Write a rate as a unit rate Compare rates

P. 298-299 #4, 5, 7, 12 P. 303-304 #6, 8, 9, 10

Solving percent problems Solving sales tax problems Solving real life problems involving
ratios

P. 252-255 #5, 6, 7, 10 P. 260-261 #7, 8

What does it mean when someone states She gave it 110%? How can you use math to explain this expression?
