Subject(s): Mathematics

Grade: 6

Ratios and Rates

Materials:
-Pencil-Paper-Dry Erase Board-Dry Erase Marker-Computer-Projector

Goals / TEKS / Objectives

1. Goal(s):
Students will review over comparing additive and multiplicative relationships, measurement, and solving problems
with proportions

2. TEKS/STAAR:
6.4(C) give examples of ratios as multiplicative comparisons of two quantities describing the same attribute
6.4(A) compare two rules verbally, numerically, graphically, and symbolically in the form of
y = ax or y = x + a in order to differentiate between additive and multiplicative relationships
6.5(A) represent mathematical and real-world problems involving ratios and rates using scale factors, tables,
graphs, and proportions

3. ELPS:
74.4. (c) (2) (D) monitor understanding of spoken language during classroom instruction and interactions and seek
clarification as needed;74.4. (c) (2) (C) learn new language structures, expressions, and basic and academic
vocabulary heard during classroom instruction and interactions;
4.

Lesson Objective(s):
-Students will set up ratios in three different ways.-Students will use a bar model to convert measurements.Students will differentiate between additive and multiplicative relationships.-Students will solve problems with
proportion either through the use of equivalent ratios or unit rates.

5. Prerequisite Skills:
-Students need to know how to multiply and divide.
-Students need to know how to add and multiply decimal numbers.
-Students need to know how to setup proportions.

Sponge / Focus

1. Sponge (warm-up):
Have students solve 2 of 4 problems given to see which areas students are most and least comfortable with.

2. Focus:

Rationale/ Connections:
Connections:-Tell or ask students where they see the concept in their school (if asking, have answers).

Teaching Strategies or Methods:

Teaching Strategy or Method: -Deductive: Lecture, -Inductive: Concept Attainment, -Cooperative Groups, -Problem
solving
Teachers Role: -Instructor, -Co-explorer
Students Role: -Participant, -Explorer
Classroom Layout:
Higher order thinking strategies: Groups of 2-4, - Why are ratios important?, - How can converting measurements be
useful?, - What makes a relationship additive or multiplicative?, - How can proportions help us in our daily lives?
Questioning strategies:

Evaluation:
-Question and Answer (Informal)-Homework Questions (Formal)

Closure:
-Ask questions about the most important parts of the lesson-Have students ask you questions about the lesson to see if
you know the answers

Accommodations/Modifications/Extensions:
-Reduce number of items-Provide a buddy-Orally given instructions
