1. Calculate unit rates of length, area, and other quantities measured in like or different units that include ratios or fractions.

[MA2019] ACC-7 (7) 1 :

1. Calculate unit rates of length, area, and other quantities measured in like or different units that include ratios or fractions. [Grade 7, 1]

In this learning activity, students will learn a strategy for solving unit rate problems from the PBS video. In the accompanying classroom activity, students watch the video and then calculate and compare unit rates. The students will share solution strategies and consider ways that unit rates can facilitate making comparisons. To get the most from the activity, students should be comfortable finding equivalent fractions and have had some exposure to the concepts of ratio and unit rate.

[MA2019] ACC-7 (7) 1 :

1. Calculate unit rates of length, area, and other quantities measured in like or different units that include ratios or fractions. [Grade 7, 1]

In this learning activity, students will use a learning strategy for solving unit rate problems from the PBS video. In the accompanying classroom activity, students will solve each problem provided in the student assignment. The students will use a ratio to represent each situation and use division to find the unit rate. To get the most from the activity, students should be comfortable finding equivalent fractions and have had some exposure to the concepts of ratio and unit rate.
