Students develop fluency with rational numbers, including integers, fractions, decimals, and percents. They investigate perfect squares and square roots, estimate non-perfect square roots, compare and order rational numbers, and apply multiplication and division of positive fractions and decimals to practical problems. Students also use ratios, rates, equivalent ratios, percent increase and decrease, discounts, commissions, taxes, and simple interest to interpret and solve real-world situations. Emphasis is placed on selecting efficient strategies, estimating to check reasonableness, and explaining solutions using appropriate mathematical vocabulary and representations.

Recommended Tasks
  • Create a personal-finance comparison task involving discounts, taxes, commissions, and simple interest, showing at least two solution strategies and an estimate for checking the answer.
  • Complete a square-root investigation using square tiles, number lines, and a calculator to classify perfect and non-perfect squares and estimate irrational roots to a specified precision.
  • Solve a multi-step grocery, recipe, or travel problem requiring operations with fractions, decimals, ratios, rates, and percents; present the reasoning in a clear written or visual format.
