Cluster:
Understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve problems.

Standard:
Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities. For example, “The ratio of wings to beaks in the bird house at the zoo was 2:1, because for every 2 wings there was 1 beak.” “For every vote candidate A received, candidate C received nearly three votes.”

Cluster:
Understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve problems.

Standard:
Understand the concept of a unit rate a/b associated with a ratio a:b with b ≠ 0, and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship. For example, “This recipe has a ratio of 3 cups of flour to 4 cups of sugar, so there is 3/4 cup of flour for each cup of sugar.” “We paid $75 for 15 hamburgers, which is a rate of $5 per hamburger.”

Footnote:
Expectations for unit rates in this grade are limited to non-complex fractions.

Cluster:
Understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve problems.

Standard:
Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations. Make tables of equivalent ratios relating quantities with whole number measurements, find missing values in the tables, and plot the pairs of values on the coordinate plane. Use tables to compare ratios.

Cluster:
Understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve problems.

Standard:
Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations. Solve unit rate problems including those involving unit pricing and constant speed. For example, if it took 7 hours to mow 4 lawns, then at that rate, how many lawns could be mowed in 35 hours? At what rate were lawns being mowed?

Cluster:
Understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve problems.

Standard:
Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations. Find a percent of a quantity as a rate per 100 (e.g., 30% of a quantity means 30/100 times the quantity); solve problems involving finding the whole, given a part and the percent.

Cluster:
Understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve problems.

Standard:
Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations. Use ratio reasoning to convert measurement units; manipulate and transform units appropriately when multiplying or dividing quantities.

Cluster:
Develop understanding of statistical variability.

Standard:
Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers. For example, “How old am I?” is not a statistical question, but “How old are the students in my school?” is a statistical question because one anticipates variability in students’ ages.

Cluster:
Develop understanding of statistical variability.

Standard:
Understand that a set of data collected to answer a statistical question has a distribution which can be described by its center, spread, and overall shape.

Cluster:
Develop understanding of statistical variability.

Standard:
Recognize that a measure of center for a numerical data set summarizes all of its values with a single number, while a measure of variation describes how its values vary with a single number.

Cluster:
Summarize and describe distributions.

Standard:
Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot plots, histograms, and box plots.
