CMQ2How do we use ratios in our everyday lives?
Big Ideas
PROPORTIONALITY: If two quantities vary
proportionally, that relationship can be represented
as a linear function on a graph or in a table.
In a proportional relationship there are an infinite
number of ratios equal to the lowest terms or
constant ratio.

Essential Questions (CMQs)
How can graphs and tables help us see how numbers are related?
Where can examples of ratios and rates be found?

deriving from, and extending, pairs of rows (or columns) in the multiplication table, and by analyzing simple drawings that indicate the relative size
of quantities, students connect their understanding of multiplication and division with ratios and rates. Thus students expand the scope of problems
for which they can use multiplication and division to solve problems, and they connect ratios and fractions. Students solve a wide variety of
problems involving ratios and rates.
Students use the meaning of fractions, the meanings of multiplication and division, and the relationship between multiplication and division to
understand and explain why the procedures for dividing fractions make sense. Students use these operations to solve problems

Student completes task or investigation at any time during the CM unit that addresses Big Ideas of this Unit. Standards of Mathematical Practice in
this task are evaluated by the problem solving rubric. Tasks may be differentiated according to student interest, ability level, etc.
CM2FK1 Ratios
Use ratio language and notation (such as 3 to 4, 3:4, 3/4) to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities.
Ex 1: “The ratio of girls to boys in a math class is 2:3, because for every 2 girls there are 3 boys.”
Ex 2: “For every five votes candidate A received, candidate B received four votes.”
Find the unit rate a/b associated with a ratio a: b (with b≠0), and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship.
Ex 1: “This recipe has a ratio of 3 cups of flour to 4 cups of sugar, so there is 3/4 cup of flour for each cup of sugar.”
Ex 2: “We paid $75 for 15 hamburgers, which is a rate of $5 per hamburger.”
Construct tables of equivalent ratios relating quantities with whole-number measurements.
Find missing values in the tables, and/or plot the pairs of values on the coordinate plane. Use tables to compare ratios.
CM2FK2 Unit rate and percent
Solve unit rate problems including those involving unit pricing and constant speed.
Ex: If it took 7 hours to mow 4 lawns, then at that rate, how many lawns could be mowed in 35 hours? At what rate were lawns being mowed?
Find a percent of a quantity as a rate per 100 (e.g., 30% of a quantity means 30/100 times the quantity).
Solve problems involving finding the whole, given a part and the percent.
CM2FK3 Fraction Quotients
Interpret and compute quotients of fractions (including mixed numbers), and solve word problems involving division of fractions by fractions.
Solving division expressions by understanding using multiplicative inverse (a/b) ÷ (c/d) = (a/b) × (d/c) = ad/bc
Ex 1: Given a story context for (2/3) ÷ (3/4), explain that (2/3) ÷ (3/4) = 8/9 because 3/4 of 8/9 is 2/3.
Ex 2: How wide is a rectangular strip of land with length 3/4 mi and area 1/2 square mi?
Ex 3: How many 2 1/4-foot pieces can be cut from a 15 1/2-foot board?

CMQ6 How do we use data in our everyday lives?
Big Ideas (CM)
DATA COLLECTION: Some questions can be answered by collecting and
analyzing data, and the question to be answered determines the data
that needs to be collected and how best to collect it.
DATA REPRESENTATION: Data can be represented visually using tables,
charts, and graphs. The type of data determines the best choice of
visual representation.
DATA DISTRIBUTION: There are special numerical measures that
describe the center and spread of numerical data sets.
Essential Questions (CMQs)
What kinds of problems can be solved with data analysis?
When is it helpful to collect more than one set of data?
How does the size of the sample determine how closely the data
represents the population?
Why and how can we represent the same data in a variety of ways?
How does scale influence how we read data in graphic
representations?
How does the question to be answered, determine the best
measure of central tendency to use? (i.e., mean, median, mode)
How do outliers affect the mean, median, and mode?
Concepts & Competencies
Develop understanding of statistical variability & learn to describe and summarize numerical data sets, identifying clusters, peaks, gaps, and
symmetry, considering the context in which the data were collected.
Building on and reinforcing their understanding of number, students begin to develop their ability to think statistically. Students recognize that a
data distribution may not have a definite center and that different ways to measure center yield different values. The median measures center in
the sense that it is roughly the middle value. The mean measures center in the sense that it is the value that each data point would take on if the
total of the data values were redistributed equally, and also in the sense that it is a balance point.
Students recognize that a measure of variability (interquartile range or mean absolute deviation) can also be useful for summarizing data because
two very different sets of data can have the same mean and median yet be distinguished by their variability.
