This lesson focuses on using fractions to describe increases and decreases in values. It begins with an introduction to fractions and tape diagrams, followed by activities that involve calculating distances using fractions. The lesson concludes with a summary and homework instructions.

What is the main focus of Math 7 Unit 4 Lesson 4?

• Learning about probability

• Understanding geometric shapes

• Using fractions to describe increases and decreases

• Solving algebraic equations

In the tape diagram activity, what does the question mark represent?

• The total length of the tape

• The missing portion of the tape

• The color of the tape

• The width of the tape

How do you calculate the total distance Jada's pet turtle walked?

• Multiply the initial distance by two

• Subtract half of the initial distance

• Add the initial distance to half of it

• Divide the initial distance by two

What is the correct equation for the total distance walked if the initial distance is X?

• Y = 2X

• Y = X - 0.5X

• Y = X + 0.5X

• Y = X / 2

What happens to Zeno's distance as he continues to jump half as far each time?

• He stops at 10 meters

• He eventually reaches 16 meters

• He moves further away from 16 meters

• He gets closer to 16 meters but never reaches it

In the matching activity, what does it mean if Y is larger than X?

• Y is less than X

• Y is a fraction of X

• Y is equal to X

• Y is greater than X

What is the purpose of using the distributive property in this lesson?

• To calculate probabilities

• To find the area of shapes

• To solve quadratic equations

• To simplify calculations involving fractions

How do you determine the number of invitations Jay can make with 180 cm of ribbon?

• Divide the total ribbon by the circumference of one invitation

• Multiply the total ribbon by the diameter of one invitation

• Subtract the diameter from the total ribbon

• Add the diameter to the total ribbon
