CPM Course 2 – Chapter 7

Proportions and Percents
In this chapter, students will extend the use of scale factors to describe a multiplicative relationship between quantities and to find unknown quantities.  The themes are proportions and percents.  During this chapter students:

  • Use diagrams to identify equal ratios and scaling relationships (enlarging and reducing)
  • Use the relationships to  solve proportions (not cross products yet)
  • Develop strategies for writing and solving equations with a coefficient that is a fraction.
  • Begin percent increase or decrease as well as simple interest.
