You must have an account with Google to use this resource. This resource works very well either in your classroom, or with distance learning or homeschooled students, with Google Classroom.

This includes three short Google Form Quizzes you can use to help your students practice solving word problems with proportional relationships. For example: Jaden used four cups of blueberries to make 15 blueberry bars. He thinks he can make 50 blueberry bars with 12 cups of blueberries. Is he right?

To solve this, students set up an equation where 4/15 = 12/50, then cross multiply. 4 x 50 = 200. 15 x 12 = 180. Since 200 DOES NOT equal 180, the two ratios are not in a proportional relationship, and Jaden is not right.

Use it to check your students’ understanding after they have received a lesson on identifying proportional relationships (Grade 6 Proportion Problems Guided Notes 2). They can do this after Grade 6 Proportion Problems Check In 3, which will have them identifying proportional relationships with the equation shown.

6.RP.A.3 Proportion Problems Check In 4 includes four questions. 6.RP.A.3 Proportion Problems Check In 4a and 6.RP.A.3 Proportion Problems Check In 4b each include two of the questions. Every question is required, and the students’ work is graded on the spot.

Good times to use this:

1) Review from older concepts

2) Warmup for the day

3) Application of knowledge (middle or end of the period)
