Description
A fun self-guided activity that focuses on converting rates, including unit rates. Students begin by analyzing my typing speed, converting it into different unit rates (words per minute or words per second) and the implications it has on the amount of time it takes me to complete various writing tasks. The second part of the activity has students test their own typing speed and do similar calculations. Simply scanning the QR code will direct your students to a site with a speed typing test.
Get your students excited to do math! All instructions are included in the sheets provided. An answer key highlights the type of work students should have. Works as a great reference for students struggling to make the conversions. The document will help your students organize their work/thinking and be able to share their results with peers.
The license is intended for one teacher and all of their classes. Please purchase additional licenses for each additional teacher planning on using these materials in your building. Thanks!

Standards
to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
CCSS6.RP.A.1
Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities. For example, “The ratio of wings to beaks in the bird house at the zoo was 2:1, because for every 2 wings there was 1 beak.” “For every vote candidate A received, candidate C received nearly three votes.”
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.
