Unit 3: Ratios and Percentages

✓
Students represent ratios in three forms (words, colon, fraction) and write equivalent ratios by multiplying or dividing both quantities, as shown in the Equivalent Ratios activities and examples (e.g., 4/1 -> 8/2, 9:6 -> 3:2). Students solve real-world scaling problems that use multiplication or division of quantities (bread recipe scaling, floor cleaner mixing, and piano/soccer hours problems). Students complete tables and image-based tasks that require converting and scaling ratio quantities.
✓
Students solve a scaling problem: given a boys-to-girls ratio of 2:5 and 6 boys, students compute there are 15 girls, using division and multiplication to scale the ratio. Students find an equivalent reduced ratio by dividing 12:21 to 4:7, practicing division of integers to produce an equivalent ratio. Students write ratios as fractions and part-to-whole values (for example 5/12, 1/2, 9/14) and compute totals when forming part-to-whole ratios (e.g., 5 + 9 = 14).
✓
Students solve ratio word problems by using multiplication and division to find parts of a whole (e.g., Jason and Zeke split 144 cards using a 5:7 ratio; boys/girls 2:3 with total 45; goldfish 2:7 with total 54). Students use double number lines and tables to compute unit rates and scale up or down with multiplication/division (e.g., 2 sodas cost $5, find cost of 6; 2 sandwiches every 3 minutes to find time for 12 or 40). The Basic Skills Review asks students to perform decimal subtraction (13.70 − 11.94), mixed-number subtraction, integer addition (8 + 5), and integer division (1,216 ÷ 4), showing practice with multiple operations on rational numbers.
✓
Students write ratios as fractions and divide to find unit rates and unit prices (e.g., 216 ÷ 4 = 54 miles/hour; 156 ÷ 12 = 13 calories/chip; $5.25 ÷ 3 = $1.75/quart). Students multiply a found unit rate to solve new quantity problems (e.g., 13 calories × 25 chips = 325 calories; $2.09 × 10 = $20.90). Students compare prices using subtraction to find savings (e.g., $1.75 − $1.45 = $0.30).
✓
Students convert percentages to fractions or decimals and multiply to find a percent of an amount (e.g., 15% of 300 rewritten as 15/100 × 300). Students use division to find the whole given a part and a percent (e.g., 560 = 80/100 × n) and to find what percent a part is of a whole (e.g., 12 = n/100 × 25 rewritten as n = 12/0.25). Students solve real-world word problems (discounts, sales tax, test scores, attendance) and practice modeling with double number lines and equivalent ratios.
✓
Students set up and solve unit conversion problems by multiplying and dividing by conversion factors (examples: 3 quarts ×2 = 6 pints; 7000 meters ÷1000 = 7 kilometers). Students use equivalent-ratio methods and double number line diagrams to convert decimals and mixed rational quantities (examples: 8.5 kg → 8,500 g; 5 oz × 28.35 ≈ 141.75 g). The activity problems ask students to compute conversions across customary and metric systems using multiplication or division of rational numbers.
✓
Students solve many real-world problems requiring multiplication and division of rational numbers, for example finding unit price ($5.16 ÷ 4), unit rate (19 miles ÷ 2 hours), percent-of calculations (28% of 200 = 56), and unit conversions (16 oz × 7 = 112; 2.54 × 8 = 20.32). Students convert between fractions, decimals, and percents (table completion problems) and use ratio reasoning with tape diagrams, double number lines, tables, and graphs to solve proportional problems (model cars, Farmer Ned, apples and pies).
✓
Students set up and compute unit prices by dividing total price by quantity (e.g., $3.38 ÷ 13 oz = $0.26/oz). Students multiply to convert units (e.g., gallons → quarts → pints → cups → fl oz) and to scale quantities in recipes (doubling/tripling) and to compute total ounces for multi-packs (12 × 8 = 96 fl oz). Students solve percent problems and savings calculations by using ratios and multiplication/division (10% coupon savings, monthly/annual savings) and perform subtraction to find price differences between options. Students also apply multiplication/division in currency conversion and constant-speed rate problems (distance and time conversions).
Unit 4

Unit 4: Algebraic Expressions

✓
Students translate word phrases into algebraic expressions that use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (e.g., Carlee has 12 board games + n; Jane bikes 20 + n = 35). Students evaluate numerical expressions that include fractions and decimals (e.g., (2/5)^2, (1.5)^3, (2.1)^2 - (0.4)^2) and complete PEMDAS problems combining multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction with rational numbers. Students use real-world contexts (area of a square, batting/practice time, money/packs of pencils, Nina's lunch) to write or evaluate expressions involving rational quantities.
✓
Students translate real-world situations into algebraic expressions in multiple activities (e.g., Milo, Jade, Yuji, and the Student Activity Page problems such as Damien, Kendyll, Martin, Piper, Benjamin, Lindy, Braeden and the Challenge about Tamika). Students evaluate expressions by substituting numeric values (Activity 3 examples: 5 + 4y when y = 6; evaluating (n − 3)^2 + 4 for n = 4,7,12; the chart evaluating expressions for 4, 9, 12). The Basic Skills Review and other problems require students to compute with fractions and decimals (4/5 + 3, 5.5 × 2.7, fraction word problems) and division with non-integer results (p ÷ 2 showing 9 ÷ 2 = 4.5).
✓
Students practice rewriting subtraction as adding the opposite and using number lines (Activity 2 and 4) to evaluate expressions such as 12 - 4, 3 - 5, and -5 - 6. Students apply rules for combining positive and negative numbers (Activity 3) and solve real-world problems involving sums and differences (Activity 5) like temperatures, bank balances, diving depths, and game scores. Multiple student activity pages require students to write expressions from scenarios and compute answers (e.g., 10 - 7, -275 + 500, 0 - 5).
✓
Students perform arithmetic with rational numbers in several places: they simplify numerical expressions such as 8 + 4 + 2 - 5 and are taught to change subtraction to adding the opposite when combining like terms (e.g., 6x - 3 + 2x + 7 -> 6x + 2x + -3 + 7). The Basic Skills Review #8 asks students to solve real-world problems using rational-number operations (divide 23.7 by 15 for box weight, compute push-ups per minute and in a given time, and calculate a 25% discount on $24) and to multiply fractions/mixed numbers (e.g., 18/5 × 12/9 and 3 2/3 × 4 1/5). Students also practice combining positive and negative numbers and applying order of operations in arithmetic expressions that involve multiplication, addition, and subtraction.
✓
Students translate real-world situations into expressions and evaluate them (e.g., Tessa: 2n + 3n → 5n, Cesar: 18y for baskets). Students use multiplication and addition when applying the distributive property (e.g., 5(n+2) = 5n + 10, 5(x+3) + 2x − 12 → 7x + 3). Students simplify and evaluate expressions by substituting numbers (e.g., evaluate 4n − 3 at n = 5; evaluate 3a + 2 + 4 + a at a = 2). The materials show combining like terms and adding/subtracting integers (including using opposites) in multi-step simplifications.
✓
Students translate real-world situations into algebraic expressions and evaluate them (e.g., Tasha: n + 7, Kelsey: n - 12, Jeremiah: 5x + 3, Zane: 12n + 5, Alana: 12(x + 6)). Students perform and evaluate addition, subtraction, and multiplication with integers and coefficients (e.g., combining like terms, distributive property, evaluating expressions for given variable values). Students work with negative numbers and learn to change subtraction to adding the additive inverse (e.g., problems like 20 - 36, -14 - (-9)) and evaluate decimal/fraction powers in exercises (e.g., (0.2)^3, (2/3)^2).
✓
Students create and solve word problems that use positive and negative integers (Make a Quiz) and practice adding and subtracting integers in real‑world contexts (examples and rubric references). Students apply multiplication when using the distributive property (Prove It! Equivalencies, Math Properties Trading Cards) and evaluate exponential expressions including fractional and decimal bases (Exponent Matching). The skills list explicitly asks students to understand subtraction as adding the additive inverse and to use positive and negative numbers to represent real‑world quantities.
Unit 5

Unit 5: Algebraic Equations

✓
Students compute with fractions, decimals, multiplication, and division in Activity 1 (e.g., 5 1/2 + 3 5/6; 98.6 - 39.75; 7.2 × 0.4; fraction multiplication 3/7 × 4/9; blanks for division like ___/4 = 25). Students solve real-world word problems by translating them into equations that use the four operations (e.g., 32 + p = 48 for stuffed animals, m/6 = 20 for marbles, 3x = 24 for notebooks, 72/3 = y for candies). Students practice substituting values to check solutions (guess-and-check) on multiple activity pages that require performing the arithmetic with rational numbers, and the answer key shows work with negative results where appropriate.
✓
Students represent and solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving one-step equations using addition and subtraction (e.g., n + 60 = 100, 48 = 21 + x, 16 + n = 72). Students use tape diagrams and hanger diagrams to model equality and perform inverse operations (subtracting or adding the same value to both sides) to isolate the variable. Multiple student activity pages and word-problem sets require students to form equations from context and check solutions by substitution.
✓
Students set up and solve one-step equations that use multiplication and division (examples: 2n = 8, n/2 = 5, 5n = 40) using tape diagrams and hanger diagrams. Students practice solving and checking solutions by substitution on multiple activity pages and answer keys. Students translate real-world situations into equations (Antonia's plant, Emma's plates, canoeing, Alex washing cars) and solve them using multiplication or division.
✓
Students solve two-step equations that involve integers, decimals, and fractions (Activities: "Two-Step Equations: Integers and Decimals", "Equations with Fractions"), including worked examples that show subtracting/addition and multiplying/dividing with rational numbers (e.g., 8n + 0.6 = 3; n/0.5 - 7 = 8; 2/3 n - 2/5 = 1/10). Students also translate and solve real-world word problems by writing two-step equations (e.g., 5n + 12 = 92, n/2 + 10 = 35, 3n + 4 = 19) and check solutions by substitution. The lesson includes review pages and practice problems for computing with decimals and fractions prior to solving equations.
✓
Students substitute numbers into expressions such as 2x + 6 > 10 and evaluate using multiplication and addition (e.g., 2(4) + 6 > 10) and use a table of test values to determine which make the inequality true. Students work with real-world contexts that use inequalities (Casper's neighbor age n > 11; José paying more than $5; roller coaster height n ≥ 3) and practice selecting values that satisfy inequalities. The lesson explicitly notes that solution sets include decimals and fractions and has students represent solution sets in set notation and on number lines.
✓
Students set up and solve inequalities that require addition, subtraction, multiplication and division with rational numbers (for example, n/3 ≤ 1 is solved by multiplying both sides by 3; x<- 2.6 < 2.4 involves adding 2.6 to both sides; 3n<- 4.3 < 10.7 requires adding 4.3 then dividing by 3). Students solve real-world word problems that produce inequalities with rational coefficients and constants (examples: Gabriel's earnings 5n ≤ 75, jelly beans n/3 "<5; 25, shirts n + 5 < 12). Students also graph solution sets and check solutions by substitution, demonstrating use of rational-number arithmetic in context.
✓
Students set up and solve two-variable word problems that use multiplication and division (e.g., Kevin earns $10/hour: 10x = y; Ron bikes 5 mph: 5x = y; t = d/45). Students solve equations that require addition and subtraction (e.g., y = x - 2, x + y = 8, finding y when x is given) and work with decimals and fractions in solution pairs (examples include x = 4.5 and y = 3.5, 2 3/4 and 5 1/4). The materials include tasks to isolate variables using inverse operations (2x - 4 = y → solve for x or y) and a Basic Skills Review that practices decimal multiplication and fraction problems.
✓
Students solve one- and two-step equations that require addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of rational numbers (e.g., x - 2.4 = 7.6; 6m = 42; 2(y + 1/2) = 13; a/7 - 5 = 9). Students solve and graph inequalities that produce solutions with negative and positive rational values (e.g., 4 < n + 6 leading to n > -2; 2n - 5 ≤ 1). Students translate and solve real-world word problems using equations and inequalities with rational quantities (books, money, hours, weights) and check solutions by substitution or graphing.
✓
Students are asked to write and solve at least 10 number problems about themselves, including 5–7 equations and 4–6 inequalities, and to provide an answer key checking solutions by plugging answers back into the original equations/inequalities. The project checklist requires inclusion of one example of each operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) and explicitly calls for one equation with a fraction and one with a decimal. Students are also asked to graph an inequality on a number line and to create and interpret a two-variable equation (independent/dependent variable) with a table.
Unit 6

Unit 6: 2D Geometry

✓
Students compute angle measures using addition and subtraction of whole-number degree measures (for example, complementary angles: 25° + 65° = 90°; supplementary angles: 180° - 110° = 70°; reflex angles: 360 - 70 = 290). Student activity pages ask students to calculate missing angle measures and to draw angles of specified degree measures (e.g., 90°, 55°, 170°, 340°), which requires numeric operations to find or construct those values. Several practice problems require students to add or subtract degree measures to solve for unknown angles.
✓
Students set up and solve equations such as 126 + n = 180, n + 2n = 90, and 5n = n + 92, using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to find unknown angle measures. Students combine like terms (e.g., 3n = 90), divide to isolate variables (n = 30), and substitute values back into expressions to compute degree measures (2(30) = 60). The Basic Skills Review includes real-world arithmetic with fractions, decimals, percentages, and ratios (e.g., pan price with 15% off, dog weight with decimal addition, fraction subtraction), which requires the four operations on rational numbers.
✓
Students compute sums and differences of angle measures to find missing angles (e.g., 40 + 65 = 105 and 180 - 105 = 75; checking 75 + 75 + 75 = 225 to reject an impossible triangle). Students add side lengths and compare them using the triangle inequality (examples: 4 + 5 > 7, checklist activity selecting possible side lengths such as 6 cm, 8 cm, 10 cm). Students apply arithmetic to decide constructability in real-world contexts (engineering truss and roof planning use sums of angles and sums of side lengths to evaluate proposed designs).
✓
Students solve real-world area problems that require multiplication, addition, subtraction, and division of rational numbers: e.g., the pool problem where students multiply 52 × 40, subtract the 6 × 6 platform area, and get 2,044 ft2. The pavers/walkway task has students convert units (feet to inches), multiply to find areas (120 × 36), and divide by the paver area (24) to find 180 pavers. The sailboat and picture-frame problems require multiplication by 1/2 (fraction) for triangle areas and summing areas of multiple shapes. Student Activity Pages include decimal and fractional measurements (e.g., 10.5 in, 1.5 in, 1/2 factor) that students compute with in context.
✓
Students measure circles and compute C/d to discover pi, which requires dividing decimal measurements (division with rational numbers). Students use C = πd and C = 2πr to calculate circumference by multiplying diameters or radii by 3.14 (multiplication with decimals) and find radius by dividing a diameter by 2 (division). In challenge tasks for semicircles and perimeter of a semicircle, students add arc lengths and straight-edge lengths to get total lengths (addition of rational numbers).
✓
Students compute and use scale factors expressed as ratios and percentages (Activity 3 and the "Scale Factor" pages) and solve proportions to find unknown lengths (e.g., Luca's fort: 1 in/5 ft = 6 in/n ft). Students multiply dimensions by scale factors to create enlargements (200% × 8 ft = 16 ft) and reduce drawings using fraction scale factors (1/3 of 18 = 6). Students compute perimeters and areas of original and scaled figures and relate area change to the square of the scale factor (Activity 5).
✓
Students solve real-world geometry problems that require addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of rational numbers: e.g., computing perimeter and area of a parallelogram (perimeter = 12+5+12+5; area = 12×4), finding circumference and area of circles (C = πd, A = πr^2) and dividing area by 3.5 to find number of sandbags. Students use fractional and decimal operations in scale-factor and area problems (use of 1/2 for triangle area, scale factors 1/3 and 5:1, and decimal π ≈ 3.14). Multiple word problems (quilting, kite area, patio bricks, fire ring, sandbags) require students to set up and compute using the four operations in real-world contexts.
✓
Students create and solve 'Real-Life Area Problem' activities that ask them to calculate the area of various shapes, indicating they will apply area formulas in problem contexts. Students plan and execute scale drawings using a given scale factor, which requires adjusting numerical measures. The sample station 'Measure a Reflex Angle' instructs students to measure an angle and subtract its measure from 360° to find the reflex angle.
Unit 7

Unit 7: 3D Geometry

✓
Students set up and solve equations using Euler's Formula (F + V - E = 2) to find unknown counts; for example, they write F + 5 - 8 = 2 and solve to get F = 5. Students complete problem pages that require computing numbers of faces, vertices, and edges by performing addition and subtraction (e.g., F + 8 - 12 = 2 to find F = 6). Several activity problems ask students to compute counts and verify equations, which involves combining like terms and adding or subtracting integers to solve for unknowns.
✓
Students compute areas using multiplication and add them to find surface area in multiple worked examples (e.g., rectangle 5×4 = 20, triangle 1/2×3×4 = 6, and nets where face areas are added to get SA = 184 cm2). Students apply formulas that use multiplication and addition with rational numbers (SA = 2LW + 2LH + 2WH and SA = 6s2) and use them in real-world contexts (wrapping paper: 190 in2; roof painting: compute lateral triangle areas and subtract the base). The Basic Skills Review and word problems require operations with rational numbers including decimal multiplication (grapes cost $1.58×2.5), fraction addition, and unit-price division (24 oz for $3.12 → $0.13/oz).
✓
Students compute volumes of rectangular prisms and cubes using multiplication of whole numbers, fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals (e.g., V = 1/2 × 1/2 × 1/2; V = 1 1/2 × 3/4 × 4; V = 7/2 × 2 × 2). Students count fractional unit cubes and multiply the count by the fractional cube volume to find total volume (examples with 1/2-inch and 1/4-inch cubes). Real-world word problems require multiplying and dividing rational numbers to solve (e.g., finding how many 1/4-inch cubes fill a box, and dividing aquarium volume by 5-cubic-foot containers).
✓
Students compute volumes and surface areas using multiplication and addition of rational numbers (e.g., V = 5 x 4 x 4 = 80 in^3, then 80 x 8 = 640 in^3 for eight mugs). Students divide to find quantities in real contexts (e.g., 528 ÷ 275 = 1.92, rounded to 2 packages of paper; 45,000 ÷ 600 = 75 boxes). Problems require operations with fractions and mixed numbers (e.g., SA with 1 1/2 ft, V = (1/2 x 5 x 3) x 12 = 90 cm^3) and with decimals (e.g., 724 ÷ 1.6). The Basic Skills Review and activity pages ask students to add/subtract integers and negatives, work with mixed fractions, percents, and perform multi-step arithmetic in word-problem contexts.
✓
Students compute volumes and surface areas using fractional and decimal dimensions (e.g., V = 3/4 × 1/2 × 4 4/5 = 1 4/5; Kareem's paint problem uses 3 1/2 × 1 1/2 × 2 and then divides surface area by 10 to find number of cans). Students solve for unknowns with division of decimals (Bella's flute case: 182 ÷ 6.5 = 28) and use formulas that require multiplication and addition of face areas (SA = 2LW + 2LH + 2WH; SA sums like 220 cm2). Students also apply Euler's formula and algebraic manipulation involving subtraction and addition (F + V − E = 2) when finding missing vertices or edges.
✓
Students measure pre-printed nets and use formulas (V = l × w × h, V = B × h, SA = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, area formulas for triangles/rectangles) to calculate surface area and volume for selected solids. Students round measured dimensions to the nearest half unit and perform arithmetic with fractions and mixed numbers, as shown in examples and the answer key (e.g., 1/2 × 6 × 4 for triangular prism area, 1/2 × 5 1/2 × 4 1/2 for tetrahedron face area, and volumes like 7 × 4 × 2). Students add areas of faces to find total surface area and multiply fractional dimensions when computing volumes.
Unit 8

Unit 8: Statistics

✓
The Basic Skills Review #15 asks students to compute with rational numbers: e.g., evaluate 4n+12 for n=5, compute 8/15 ÷ 4/9 (answer key shows the fraction division algorithm), and perform integer arithmetic 4 + 7 - 13 + 1 - (-2). Applied problems require multiplication and decimals: find pieces produced (85 pieces/min × 12 min = 1,020) and use π≈3.14 to compute circumference and area (multiplication with a decimal). Students also compute volume (6 × 4 × 3) and find a greatest common factor, all of which involve operations on rational numbers.
✓
Students add frequency counts to find totals (e.g., "To find the total number of campers... she just needs to add all the frequency numbers. Eighty campers responded."). Students compute differences to compare categories (e.g., "How many more campers voted for pizza than spaghetti? (4)"). Multiple activity pages ask students to sum frequencies (total runners, total cars sold, total games bowled) and to identify highest/lowest frequencies from tables and dot plots.
✓
Students compute differences and totals of frequencies (for example, finding that 17 - 5 = 12 to compare age intervals and adding 17 + 18 + 10 + 5 + 2 = 52 to find the total number of campers). Students complete activity questions that require summing frequencies (e.g., determining that 77 employees work at the factory) and determine interval sizes (e.g., each temperature interval has size 5 degrees). Students create frequency tables and count data values to populate histograms.
✓
Students compute means by adding all data values and dividing by the number of values (for example, 219 ÷ 15 = 14.6 for the swim team and 418 ÷ 20 = 20.9 for movies watched). Students use multiplication with frequency counts to form sums (e.g., 12×2 + 13×2 + ... = 219) and then divide to find averages. Students also use subtraction to find range (subtract smallest from largest) and apply these computations to real-world contexts like swim team ages, flights, allowances, movies watched, and number of chickens owned.
✓
Students compute measures that require addition, subtraction, and division with data values: they find sums and distances from the mean, calculate the mean by summing and dividing by the count, and compute mean absolute deviation by summing absolute distances and dividing by the number of values. The student pages and answer keys show students finding range and interquartile range by subtracting minimum, maximum, and quartile values. Students apply these calculations to real-world contexts (orchard harvests, babies born, houses, cars parked on Main Street) and record intermediate arithmetic (tables for distances, sums, and quotients).
✓
Students compute means by adding data values and dividing by the count (food truck sales: 600 ÷ 24 = 25; word‑length mean 655 ÷ 183 ≈ 3.6). Students convert ratios to percentages and use equivalent ratios in the candy activity (e.g., 3:10 → 30%). Students multiply and work with fractions in real contexts (Tobias: 3 1/4 × 4 = 13 cups) and use subtraction to find variability (IQR = 34 − 17 = 17). The Basic Skills review and coordinate distance questions require division, multiplication, addition/subtraction, and percent computations in applied problems.
✓
Students are prompted to compute means by summing data values and dividing by the sample size (e.g., pumpkin and zucchini means shown and blanks for mean calculations). Students calculate mean absolute deviation by finding distances from the mean, summing those distances, and dividing by 10 (the activity tables and worked examples show these additions and divisions). Students subtract the two means and divide that difference by the larger mean absolute deviation to produce a quotient used to judge overlap (the worked example shows 9.0 - 7.5 = 1.5 and 1.5 ÷ 1.2 = 1.25).
✓
Students compute means, medians, modes, ranges, interquartile ranges, and mean absolute deviation on multiple real-world data sets (e.g., fishing rodeo ages, bagel sales, movie-theater preferences). Students add data values and divide by the count to find means, subtract to find deviations and ranges, and create dot plots, stem-and-leaf plots, histograms, and box plots to analyze real-world contexts. Several practice problems ask students to perform these calculations and interpret results in context.
✓
Step 4 and the presentation requirements ask students to compute the mean, median, mode, range, interquartile range, and mean absolute deviation and to create a box plot and dot plot/histogram. Students are prompted to organize numeric data, list values, and show the five-number summary, which requires finding minimum, maximum, quartiles, and median. The instructions for mean and mean absolute deviation require students to sum values, find differences from the mean, take absolute values, and divide by the count (explicit addition, subtraction, and division work).
Unit 9

Unit 9: Skills Review

✓
Students solve explicit computation problems that use all four operations with whole numbers and decimals (Problems 1–5: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of decimals and whole numbers). Students solve real-world word problems that require addition, multiplication, division, and subtraction with decimals and whole numbers (Problems 6–9 involve money, totals, repeated groups, and remainders). The Parent Plan and activity descriptions explicitly state fluency expectations for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing multi-digit decimals and whole numbers.

Students solve explicit problems that require adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions and mixed numbers on the "Operations with Fractions" page (e.g., 11 3/15 + 6 3/4, 5 1/4 ÷ 2 2/3, 2 5/6 × 4 3/5). Students apply those operations in real-world word problems such as adding hours and multiplying by an hourly rate (Mario), finding area by multiplying mixed-number side lengths (rug), subtracting fabric used from total fabric (Bart), and dividing a 1/2‑pound bag into equal portions (trail mix). Students also solve ratio and rate problems that use division with decimals and unit rates (unit price of apples, train speed, necklaces/time).

Students solve one-step and two-step equations that require multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction with whole numbers and decimals (e.g., 9n = 63; x - 1.3 = 5.8; 2(n + 3) = 16; m/4 = 5). Students set up and solve real-world word problems that use operations with rational amounts (Naomi: 5h + 3 = 18; Pedro dividing toy cars into bins; Jayne modeling spending with 4 + n ≤ 10). Students evaluate and simplify expressions that use multiplication and addition of terms and coefficients (evaluate 32 - 3x, simplify 3(n + 6) + 4n - 10). The Parent Plan and activities explicitly ask students to practice percents, unit conversions, and operations on linear expressions with rational coefficients.

Students find complements and supplements (90 - 36 = 54, 180 - 36 = 144), showing subtraction. Students solve a vertical-angle equation (3n = 2n + 16) and use arithmetic to find n and angle measures. Students multiply decimals and fractions to compute area (3.5 × 2.8 = 9.8; (9/2) × (9/2) = 81/4) and add component areas when decomposing the trapezoid (9 + 6 + 6). Students use division and multiplication in circle and scale problems (divide diameter by 2 to get radius, compute circumference/area with π, and compute scale factors such as 4/12 = 1/3 and 2 inches × 8 = 16).
