This unit focuses on numerical reasoning and real numbers. Over 12 days, students will learn to compare rational numbers using fractions, decimals, percents, and a number line. They will also learn about square roots and scientific notation. The unit aims to build a foundation of understanding of numbers through comparing and ordering rational numbers, approximating irrational numbers, and expressing numbers in scientific and standard notation.
