Unit 2

As Unit 1 comes to an end and we are completing test corrections and Unit 1 Goals packets, it is important to continue working on the skills we need to practice.  We will be starting Unit 2 the end of the week.

Unit 2 is Ratios and Proportional Relationships.  You have some background on ratios from 5th grade.  I have included some useful links below to familiarize you with the topics we will be covering in the beginning of the unit. 

I have already assigned the LearnZillion videos for Unit 2.  You will need to watch the videos by the last week in October.  The videos are also fairly short so I expect that everyone finds the time to watch the videos in order to help them better understand the concepts in the unit.

MathIsFun Intro to Ratios
Ratio Word Problems Khan Academy (*This is a type of question we will see A LOT of)
Unit Rate Khan Academy
Proportions Khan Academy

Reminder: Don't be afraid to try the MathCounts problem of the week each week to earn extra credit! Even if you complete part of the problem you can still receive credit!
