Looking for a meaningful, low-prep, and highly engaging math activity for the short week before Thanksgiving? This Thanksgiving Ratio Stations Game gives your 6th graders the practice they need—without the chaos of unstructured holiday week lessons. Students work in teams to solve real-world ratio, equivalent ratio, unit rate, and percent problems across themed stations, earning points as they go. Perfect for review, small groups, rotations, centers, or a full-class competition.

This activity includes 5 stations, each with 5 word problems, plus a score card system that keeps students accountable and motivated. The problems are 100% standards-aligned and require students to show their work, justify reasoning, and collaborate—making it an excellent choice for both instruction and assessment data.
