About This Lesson
This two-week unit plan is adapted from Module 1 of the Eureka math curriculum for 6th grade. In this unit, students extend their understanding of the relationship between two numbers by relating ratios to rates, i.e. they represent unit rates as the value of the ratio. They convert measurements by multiplying rates by quantities and compare unit rates to solve real-world problems. Students define and represent percents as rates per 100. They create equivalent ratios using tools like double number line diagrams and percent proportions to solve percent problems including the part, whole, and percent in real-world contexts.
