6th Grade Advanced Math Unit 6

Big Idea:

Use proportions to make predictions and solve percent problems.

Student Expectations:

Priority TEKS

6.5(A) [Supporting] represent mathematical and real-world problems involving ratios and rates using scale factors, tables, graphs, and proportions

6.5(B) [Readiness] solve real-world problems to find the whole given a part and the percent, to find the part given the whole and the percent, and to find the percent given the part and the whole, including the use of concrete and pictorial models

7.4(D) solve problems involving ratios, rates, and percents, including multi-step problems involving percent increase and percent decrease, and financial literacy problems

Focus TEKS

6.4(A) [Supporting] compare two rules verbally, numerically, graphically, and symbolically in the form of y = ax or y = x + a in order to differentiate between additive and multiplicative relationships

6.4(H) [Readiness] convert units within a measurement system, including the use of proportions and unit rates

Learning Targets:

• Use proportions to generate equivalent ratios
• Use proportions to make predictions
• Differentiate between additive and multiplicative relationships
• Use proportions to convert measurements within a system
• Calculate the percent increase and decrease in real world problems.

Essential Questions:

• How can you represent real-world problems, involving rates and ratios with tables and graphs?
• How do you solve problems with proportions?
• How can you convert measurements within a system?
• How do you use percents to solve problems? (part,whole and percent of a number)
