Description

Google Slides project with real world application of Rates and Unit Rates.

Included in the folder:

-Regular version: 9 slides

-Honors version: 11 slides

-Example version: regular version with most slides filled in as an example

Students find an interesting or funny World Record, write it as a rate, then calculate it as a unit rate.

In the "honors" version they also write their own rates that could tie or break the record.

At the end there are extra slides where students find some other records and decide what record they would like to set or break, just for fun.

When I used this project with my classes, I introduced it by showing a few YouTube videos of some World Records that would work for the project.

(In order for this project to work, the record must have 2 units.)

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.
