Unit 3: Ratios, Rates, Reasoning and Relationships

Unit 3 Learning Targets:

• I can identify and compare ratios.
• I can find and compare unit rates.
• I can use multiplication and division strategies to solve ratio and rate problems.
• I can estimate customary measurement with appropriate units.
• I can identify and convert customary units of measure.

MN State Standards*:

• 6.1.2.1 Identify and use ratios to compare quantities; understand that comparing quantities using ratios is not the same as comparing quantities using subtraction.
• 6.1.2.2 Apply the relationship between ratios, equivalent fractions and percents to solve problems in various contexts, including those involving mixtures and concentrations.
• 6.1.2.3 Determine the rate for rations of quantities with different units.
• 6.1.2.4 Use reasoning about multiplication and division to solve ratio and rate problems.
• 6.3.3.1 Solve problems in various contexts involving conversion of weights, capacities, geometric measurements and times within measurement systems using appropriate units.
• 6.3.3.2 Estimate weights, capacities and geometric measurements using benchmarks in measurement systems with appropriate units.
