Blue Math group chapter 6

In our math class, we are trying to relate things we learn in the classroom to the real world.  Ratios, rates, and proportions are all around us.  We use ratios and rates to compare numbers.  We use rates to compare quantities with different units.  And we use proportions to solve ratio and rate problems. 

Your child will will learn how to convert ratios to fractions, convert decimals to percents, solve proportions, and solve problems using the percent proportion.  In addition, your child will learn to change customary units of measure and to solve problems by using a diagram.
