Stage 8 : Advanced Proportional Part-Whole

Stage Eight: Advanced Proportional Part-Whole

Students at the Advanced Proportional stage are learning to select from a repertoire of part-whole strategies to solve and estimate the answers to problems involving fractions, proportions, and ratios. These strategies are based on finding common factors and include strategies for the multiplication of decimals and the calculation of percentages. These students are able to find the multiplicative relationship between quantities of two different measures. This can be thought of as a mapping.
