• Why is ratio, proportion and percent such an integral part of daily living?
• For what purpose do we learn to solve absolute value equations, linear equations, and linear inequalities?
• What vocations need the concept of perimeter to complete daily tasks?

• Define, set-up and reduce ratios
• Solve proportional equations
• Solve equations involving percent increase/decrease
• Use percent to solve problems: interest rates, sales tax, discount, etc.
• Solve absolute value equalities and inequalities
• Solve linear multiple step equations
• Define, set-up, and solve consecutive integer problems
• Define, set-up, and solve perimeter/circumference word/application problems.
• Solve literal equations/formulas

• Daily observation
• Homework
• Paper-pencil tests and quizzes
• Open-ended reflections
  
  

Activities:

• Collect and interpret data from multimedia that shows the use of ratio, proportion, and percent in daily living
• “Equation-in-a-bag” group activity (sequential ordering of steps to solve linear equations)
• Math BINGO
• “Scrambled eggs” group activity
