Apply ratio relationships to solve mathematical and real-world problems involving percentages using the relationship between two quantities.
The Florida's B.E.S.T. Standards for Mathematics outcome MA.6.AR.3.4 (Algebraic Reasoning) for Grade 6 says: “Apply ratio relationships to solve mathematical and real-world problems involving percentages using the relationship between two quantities.” This Fieldbook unit teaches it hands-on, with everyday materials and a printable teacher guide and student sheet for every lesson. Official wording: Florida's B.E.S.T. Standards for Mathematics.
Mix It, Pace It: Ratio, Rate and Percent Grades 6–7
Why doesn't the big batch of paint match? Who walks fastest? Is the bigger pack or the bigger percent off really the better deal? Does twice the time mean twice the distance? Four lessons where students mix, walk, shop and graph their way to ratios, unit rates, percents and proportional relationships.
- Which is the better deal? 45–60 min
Teams shop from printed store cards, working out the price of one notebook or one litre to find the real best buys, and discover that the bigger package isn't always cheaper and the bigger percent off doesn't always save more money. Students use unit prices, percent as a rate per 100, and find a part, a whole or a percent.
