What will students learn		In this unit, students work with percentages as another representation of ratios and fractions. The different ways of interpreting fractions are again referenced in this unit building on work from the previous unit in connecting ratios to fractions and decimals. In order to manipulate calculations involving percentages, students need to be able to use their knowledge of arithmetic with decimals and fractions. Therefore, it is important that students are also able to interpret percentages first as a number between 0 and 1 before moving onto work with percentages greater than 100
