Mastering Math: Numbers and Number Sense

Students will learn to  represent relationships between quantities using ratios, ​determine equivalencies among fractions, and compare and order integers.  Throughout the course, students will be encouraged to communicate and reason mathematically and become  problem solvers.  Opportunities for each student to acquire the specialized vocabulary and language patterns of mathematics are provided in a variety of methods (video clip, note copy, discussion, lecture). 

Class 1:
The student will recognize and represent patterns with whole number exponents and perfect squares.
Class 2: 
The student will represent and determine equivalencies among fractions, mixed numbers, decimals, and percents.
Class 3:
The student will identify, represent, compare, and order integers.
Class 4:
The student will represent relationships between quantities using ratios, and will use appropriate notations, such as a to b and a:b.
