Unit Rates

Description

Students build further on their understanding of ratios and the value of a ratio. Students solve unit rate problems involving unit pricing, constant speed, and constant rates of work. They apply their understanding of rates to situations in the real world.

Students determine unit prices and use measurement conversions to comparison shop, and decontextualize constant speed and work situations to determine outcomes. Students combine their new understanding of rate to connect and revisit concepts of converting among different-sized standard measurement units. They then expand upon this background as they learn to manipulate and transform units when multiplying and dividing quantities.

Topic C culminates as students interpret and model real-world scenarios through the use of unit rates and conversions.
