Lesson Overview
Today will be the last day of equivalent ratios! Next week, we will begin a
new topic on what mathematicians call unit rate and unit price. There
will be a VERY fun activity ahead!

I am so proud of groups that have earned VSC Math GOLD or Silver tokens.
Please keep up the good work. Remember, to earn tokens we need to show
________________, E _ _ _ _ _, and C ________________

Today is the last day to earn tokens for the next round of VSC Math
Recognition.
