Instructional Ideas

• Randomly assign class members four problems to solve, allow them to work individually or in small groups to receive extra support from their peers 
• Implement as an exit ticket; assign one problem and review correct answers for dissmissal—repeat the process four times to use the entire sheet 
• Go over word problems prior to independent practice; demonstrate how to circle, underline, or highlight key information for those in need of extra support

Classroom Considerations

• There are eight problems, but only four spaces to show work; provide extra worksheets if you assign all eight problems 
• Assumes pupils have knowledge of solving unit rate word problems 
• The resource is the second of six in a series created for substitutes visiting a sixth grade classroom

Pros

• Provides adequate space for learners to write directly on the worksheet
• Page one's bright and colorful background enhances engagement

Cons

• None
