Carryout the lesson to determine the cost of pizza toppings from a Domino's Pizza® website while creating a linear model. Learners look through real data—and even create their own pizza—to determine the cost of each topping. They...

Burning off a Big Mac® doesn't seem like a big feat until you calculate the minutes of exercise necessary to break even. Young mathematicians look at different menu items in relation to different body weights and exercises to calculate...

Use unit rates to find the number of parts needed to produce a given number of units. A production scheduler shares the different ways schedulers use math to ensure the required amount of parts are available to manufacture air...

A dripping faucet may be enough to drive you crazy, but it also teaches you a little about ratios. Presented with the volume of a sink and the rate the water is dripping, scholars must devise a plant to determine how long it will take...

Look at rates from a general perspective. The 17th part of a 29-part series provides problems that help pupils develop more general ratios from given rates. Scholars determine unit rates and ratios that are associated with given rates....

Find a way to work with rates. The 23rd part in a 29-part series presents work problems for the class to solve given work rates. Pupils compare rates to determine which is faster. Some problems require learners to convert the rates to...

Which rate is greater and by how much? Pupils continue to compare rates to solve problems in the 20th portion of a 29-part series. Rates are presented in a variety of representations either using the same representation or different...

Develop the right station to solve rate word problems. The 18th lesson in a series of 29 starts by interpreting the aspects of rates with two different quantities. Pupils use the interpretation of rates to solve problems, and groups work...

Zoe is reading books over vacation and wants to know at her current rate, how many will she finish by the end. Building on prior knowledge of fractions and ratios, young mathematicians learn how equivalent rates are used to answer her...

Everyone loves a sale, and this worksheet allows learners to calculate which sale is more rewarding. The activity can be adapted for different thinking contexts. The answer key describes different answer choices, some being higher...

Rates per unit of time, unit rates, and the distance and lengths of trips are solved in this 18-question assignment. Neatly presented, these questions provide your middle school mathematicians practice with unit rate skills.

The class solves word problems related to unit rates by identifying the quantity, the units used, and then writing an equation. They practice converting between units using multiplication and division at the right time.

Sixth graders investigate unit pricing to find which cup of coffee is a better buy. They use ratio and proportions to solve problems involving a change of scale in drawings, maps, recipes, etc. Students determine the unit cost of items...

Students calculate unit rates with fractions and whole numbers. In this algebra lesson, students compare numbers, perform long division, and calculate the rate of different units through conversions. They model some of the problems as...

In this unit rate worksheet, students solve 6 problems in which the unit rate in a consumer math story problem is calculated. There are no examples or instructions.

Students engage in a instructional activity about finding information from the grocery store to put into data that can be measured. The data is found in advertisements and food labels. They plan the cost of a party when using the unit...

Students create their own pizza, "order" it from the Internet, and see digitized versions. They calculate the area of various size pizzas in order to do cost analysis to determine best buys.

In this rates worksheet, students solve 10 multiple choice problems. Students find the unit price of an item to determine the best buy.

Seventh graders write with a pencil the conversions of teacher given unit rates with 90% accuracy after being led through several similar examples. They are quizzed on unit ratios after completing their homework assignments.

Eighth graders identify that a ratio is a comparison of two numbers and that a proportion is an equation that equates two ratios. They identify the extremes and means of proportions, as well as the product of the extremes equals the...
