Turtle Run Performance Task for Sixth Grade

Description

Explore rates, ratios, and the distance formula. Your students will calculate the speeds, distances, and times as the turtles race down the beach. Each turtle has a different rate of speed as they move across the sand. Students will make tables and graph to show each turtle's progress. Next they'll make predictions and discuss patterns in the tables and graphs. This is a great task for sixth graders and advanced

fifth graders. You may want to divide the tasks among your groups or allow each group to complete all of the task and share their observations with the whole class.

There are three extensions that allow you to scaffold the activity among your ability groups. Be sure to let me know how it turns out four you. Enjoy!

Questions & Answers

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.
