Ratios and Proportions with Sumatran Rhinos (4 weeks)
Not all rhinos have two horns—only white rhinos, black rhinos, and Sumatran rhinos do. Why do they have horns? Rhinos use their horns to defend themselves against predators and challenge other rhinos. (That's the point!) To find out how many challenges they are winning out of all the challenges they do, they have to be masters of ratios and proportions.
 
Calculate percentages and solve equations with percents of whole numbers
Use scale factors to generate equivalent ratios in measurement situations (e.g., miles, meters, cups, gallons, rates, etc.)
Generate equivalent ratios with fractions and use ratios to divide fractions

Ganges River Dolphins Do Geometry (4 weeks)
Ganges river dolphins can only live in freshwater and are essentially blind. They hunt with ultrasonic sounds, which bounce off of fish and other prey. In order to find their prey, they must know geometry very well. Can you help them out?
 
Enter radii with angle measurements and explore vertical angles
Use a Cartesian coordinate grid to locate points and measure distances between points
Create symmetrical shapes on a coordinate grid using a line of symmetry
Represent linear relationships by translating x-y tables to graphs and translating graphs to x-y tables
Locate points expressed as fractions and decimals to the tenths place by scaling the Cartesian coordinate plane
 
Expressions and Equations with Sri Lankan Elephants (4 weeks)
As herbivores, Sri Lankan elephants mainly eat grasses, leaves, shoots, barks, fruits, nuts, seeds, and other vegetation. In order to make sure they're eating the right amount each day, they need to do a lot of math—it takes a lot of food to feed an elephant that weighs upwards of 12,000 pounds!
 
Use the order of operations to evaluate expressions involving exponents
Fluently simplify expressions involving exponents
Fluently simplify multi-step expressions
Compare integers from -10 to 10 using a number line
Round integers to the tens place and compare integer values
 
Finless Porpoises Finish Word Problems First (4 weeks)
Why are finless porpoises called finless? They don't have dorsal fins! Instead of a dorsal fin, there is a small ridge on their backs that starts just behind their blowhole and extends as far as the tail flukes. They're so good at word problems that they always finish first. Unless—and it could happen!—you get better than them.
 
Through in-class activities and independent practice of word problems, students will review:
