What others say

"This was SUCH A CUTE activity!! My students loved it because it was real world things that they could relate to. They kept asking me after the unit was over to do more."

"This activity involved real-world brands like Crumbl and Chick-fil-A and it makes abstract math concepts immediately relevant to students' daily lives."

Description

Here you'll find Part 1 and Part 2 of my Real Life Unit Rate activities. PLUS, I'm adding on the original paper-and-pencil version of Part 1 FOR FREE! This truly is the most bang for your buck, as these activities are $3.50 each!

Students are expected to calculate unit rates for different sized items from various restaurants (Starbucks, Dunkin', McDonald's, Culver's, and Panera in Part 1 and Chick-fil-A, Crumbl, Wendy's, Baskin Robbins, and 7-11 in Part 2). Then, they determine which size is the "better buy" based on the unit prices at each restaurant. There are spaces on each slide for students to type their answers. There is one slide per restaurant, for a total of 10 slides (5 per activity).

Suggestions for Use:

Post it as "make a copy for each student" on Google Classroom/Schoology/etc. and have students work together to determine the best deal at each restaurant based on the unit prices. You can also have them upload their work separately if that is something you are interested in.

The graphics in this document were superb! My 6th graders enjoyed doing this activity because the restaurant chosen were relatable. I will mention, I wish the prices were more aligned to 2026 prices (ex McDonalds large fries no more than $2; in which city? LOL) I did make adjustments to some of the prices on the slide to reflect what they are today. Thank you for creating this resource!

Thank you so much for sharing! Too funny! I do give my students a disclaimer when I do this activity now because I made it in 2018 or 2019. We actually looked up some of the current prices to compare and the kids were shocked by how much prices have gone up! Kind of an interesting conversation to have with them about inflation too!

So fun for 6th grade

Questions & Answers

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).

CCSS6.RP.A.2

Understand the concept of a unit rate 𝘢/𝘣 associated with a ratio 𝘢:𝘣 with 𝘣 ≠ 0, and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship. For example, “This recipe has a ratio of 3 cups of flour to 4 cups of sugar, so there is 3/4 cup of flour for each cup of sugar.” “We paid $75 for 15 hamburgers, which is a rate of $5 per hamburger.”

CCSS6.RP.A.3

Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations.

CCSS6.RP.A.3b

Solve unit rate problems including those involving unit pricing and constant speed. For example, if it took 7 hours to mow 4 lawns, then at that rate, how many lawns could be mowed in 35 hours? At what rate were lawns being mowed?
