Seventh grade math students on the Incredibles are finishing up their unit on fraction operations. We have reviewed how to simplify fractions, make equivalent fractions using a common denominator and to convert mixed numbers to improper fractions. These skills allow students to accurately add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions and mixed numbers.
Our next topic will be ratios and proportions. Students will learn how to write ratios and convert ratios to unit rates. They will apply their knowledge of equivalent fractions as they set up and proportions and work with scale drawings and models. Students will also learn how to convert fractions, decimals and percents as well as solve percent problems using proportions.
