 * How is math used in everyday experiences?

Unit Summary In this unit, students will build a solid foundation on how to use fractions with certain jobs. The students will complete a project in which they will research jobs that require workers to know and understand fractions. Key points students will learn in the unit are how to find factors, greatest common factors (GCF), lowest common denominator (LCD), and how to apply addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
