6th Grade Advanced Math Unit 5

Big Idea:

Find equivalent ratios and unit rates.

Student Expectations:

Priority TEKS

6.4(B) [Readiness] apply qualitative and quantitative reasoning to solve prediction and comparison of real-world problems involving ratios and rates

Focus TEKS

6.4(C) [Supporting] give examples of ratios as multiplicative comparisons of two quantities describing the same attribute

6.4(D) [Supporting] give examples of rates as the comparison by division of two quantities having different attributes, including rates as quotients

7.4(B) calculate unit rates from rates in mathematical and real-world problems;

7.4(E) convert between measurement systems, including the use of proportions and the use of unit rates.

Learning Targets:

• Generate ratios and rates from real world situations
• Calculate unit rate.
• Make comparisons using ratios and rates
• Generate and identify equivalent ratios
• Calculate unit rates in real-world problems
• Use unit rates to convert between units of measurement

Essential Questions:
