• Show What You Know – pgs. 216-217 #1-18
• Extra Resource – Mathletics – Fractions, Decimals, and Percentages Workbook
• Extra Resource – Fractions and Decimals Unit Problem

Note – I assign a Unit Problem following each unit. Unit Problems are presented to students in a 1-2 page document, as attached. However, students have 2-3 classes to work in pairs or small groups on these problems. Students may use large pieces of chart/poster paper to write/draw their answers or may use manipulatives (eg. base-10 blocks, etc.) to model their answers. During these 2-3 classes, I visit and speak with each student/group multiple times, watch them work, take anecdotal notes, question and probe their ideas, solutions, etc. Their final mark is largely based on my notes and observations of their work during these classes. Students hand in the 1-2 page document to me as a “summary” of their work/understanding.
