Solve Problems Involving Proportional Relationships
- Grade:
- 6
- Subject:
- Math
This ratios and proportional relationships lesson teaches students how to solve problems involving proportional relationships. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students will identify a given ratio in a word problem, then the unknown ratio. They will represent the proportional relationship in a table and generate an equivalent ratio to solve for the unknown. Finally, they will interpret the solution.
Solve Problems Involving Rates
- Grade:
- 6
- Subject:
- Math
This algebra and functions lesson focuses on solving problems involving rates. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the problem, identifying the given rate and the given and unknown quantities of the other rate. Then, they set up the proportion and solve it by cross-multiplying. Finally, they interpret the solution. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
Solve Percent Problems Using Proportions
- Grade:
- 7
- Subject:
- Math
This ratios and proportional relationships lesson covers how to solve multistep percent problems using proportions. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students determine what the question is asking, and then the corresponding percent and quantity by drawing a diagram. Then, they set up a proportion for the percent and quantity, cross multiply, and solve for the unknown quantity. Finally, they interpret the solution, identifying whether it was a percent increase (tax, tip, or markup) or a percent decrease (sale, discount, or coupon).
