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.

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.
Compute Unit Rates with Fractions
- Grade:
- 7
- Subject:
- Math
This ratios and proportional relationships lesson covers how to compute unit rates (complex fraction ratios). The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students create an equivalent ratio table using given units and quantities. They identify the unit quantity, determine the multiplicative inverse which produces one, and then apply the multiplicative inverse to the other quantity. Finally, they interpret the unit rate.
