Ratios and Rates

Connect the tortoise and the hare fable to mathematics. Learners first identify key terms related to distance, rate, and time. They then solve distance/rate/time problems using different representations.

Rate ratios with unit rates and rate units. Pupils take ratios and determine their associated rates and unit rates. The scholars identify the different aspects of rates, the unit rate, and the rate unit. The lesson is the 16th in a...

Learners explore example problems dealing with ratios and proportions. Afterward, they read story problems and solve them using ratios and proportions. This four-page worksheet contains six multi-step problems.

This video examines a sample rate problem. The listener needs to compute whether four trains, each going different distances over different amounts of time, are moving at the same constant rate. This problem reinforces one's basic...

A simple rate problem is looked at in this video. The listener needs to compute whether four trains each going different distances over different amounts of time are moving at the same constant rate. This problem reinforces ones basic...

The instructor continues to build ratio problem-solving skills algebraically. The two examples are very involved but are thoroughly explained using algebraic steps.

Clarify complex math concepts with a helpful video. Learners view ways to work with ratios and proportions while discussing vocabulary and notation. After solving proportions, they apply the new strategy to word problems.

Join Zoe and Sam as they use proportions to budget money for their Green Earth Club. Watch as they set up and solve a series of proportions using cross multiplication and division. A great resource that brings together prior knowledge of...

The use of rate, ratio, and proportion is illustrated in this video about action photography. An additional interactive element allows students to explore equivalent ratios equivalencies through enlarging and reducing images to compare...

Zoe is reading books over vacation and wants to know at her current rate, how many will she finish by the end. Building on prior knowledge of fractions and ratios, young mathematicians learn how equivalent rates are used to answer her...
