How this fits in

Converting measurement units with ratios is one skill in the Ratios & Proportions unit. Students read the unit lesson, then earn a bronze, silver, or gold medal on their last 10 answers. Medals never go down. A mastered unit comes back for review after 1, 3, 7, 16, and 35 days so it stays learned.
