Illustrative Math Alignment: Grade 7 Unit 4

Topic

Ratios, Proportions, and Percents

Description

The image illustrates the concept of how fractions such as 3/4 and 3/5 convert to percents (75% and 60%) using shaded 10 x 10 grids. It expands on this idea by showing the concept of percents using a visual and tangible representation, reinforcing the idea of 100 as the base for comparison.

Topic

Ratios, Proportions, and Percents

Description

The image illustrates the concept of connecting coins (1¢, 5¢, 10¢, 25¢) to their percent values of a dollar (1%, 5%, 10%, 25%). It expands on this idea by establishing a real-world application of percents, showing their utility in everyday contexts like money.

Topic

Ratios, Proportions, and Percents

Description

The image illustrates the concept of the general equation for percents: a% * x = y, using the example 10% * 50 = 5. It emphasizes the three components of a percent equation: the percent, a base number, and the result, and expands on this idea by showing that establishes the foundational equation for solving percent problems, serving as a gateway to explore specific types of percent equations.

Topic

Ratios, Proportions, and Percents

Description

The image illustrates the concept of how to solve the question 'what is 15% of 250?' using the equation a% * x = y, with calculations explicitly shown as 15 * 2.5 = 37.5. and expands on this idea by showing that provides a clear, step-by-step example to apply the general percent equation, enhancing comprehension through practical application.

Topic

Ratios, Proportions, and Percents

Description

The image illustrates the concept of solving '150 is 30% of what number?' using the same equation a% * x = y and algebraic manipulation to find x = 500 and expands on this idea by showing that explains how to rearrange the percent equation to solve for different variables, expanding on problem-solving strategies.

Topic

Ratios, Proportions, and Percents

Description

The image illustrates solving the problem 'what percent of 90 is 45?' using the equation a% * x = y, and algebraically finding a% = 50% and expands on this idea by showing that demonstrates how to find the percent in percent equations, further developing flexibility in solving percent-related problems.

Topic

Ratios, Proportions, and Percents

Description

The image summarizes the three types of percent equations in a table format, highlighting the unknown variable in each scenario (percent, part, or whole) and expands on this idea by providing a comprehensive overview and categorization of percent problems, solidifying the framework introduced in earlier examples.
