Lesson Description: In this lesson, students will learn about ratios. This includes how to write ratios, the different types of ratios, rates, and how we see ratios in the real world.rnrnStudents will learn what a ratio is, the ways to represent ratios, how to write a ratio, and students will learn about rates. By the end of this lesson, students will be able to describe and write ratios. Students will understand the relationships and apply it to real world concepts. Students will learn about rates and how to calculate them.

  • Other MGSE6.RP.1 Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationshiprnbetween two quantities. For example, “The ratio of wings to beaks in the bird house at the zoo was 2:1,rnbecause for every 2 wings there was 1 beak.” “For every vote candidate A received, candidate C receivedrnnearly three votes.”rnrnMGSE6.RP.2 Understand the concept of a unit rate a / b associated with a ratio a: b with b ≠ 0 (b notrnequal to zero), and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship. For example, "This recipe has arnratio of 3 cups of flour to 4 cups of sugar, so there is 3/4 cup of flour for each cup of sugar." "We paidrn$75 for 15 hamburgers, which is a rate of $5 per hamburger."rnrnrnMGSE6.RP.3b Solve unit rate problems including those involving unit pricing and constant speed.rnFor example, If it took 7 hours to mow 4 lawns, then at that rate, how many lawns could be mowed inrn35 hours? At what rate were lawns being mowed?
