This lesson serves as a complete review of the ratio unit. Students will begin class with a high-interest launch and will brainstorm real-world connections that have been made to ratios and rates. We will then have the students play Jeopardy, which has categories, questions and answers embedded in the game. There is also a final jeopardy question that can be found on slide 13. After the game, students will write a letter to an absent classmate. Aligned with Common Core State Standards: 6.RP.1 , 6.RP.2 , 6.RP.3 , 6.RP.3a , 6.RP.3b , 6.RP.3c , 6.RP.3d

Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities.
Understand the concept of a unit rate 𝑎/𝑏 associated with a ratio 𝑎:𝑏 with 𝑏 ≠ 0, and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship.
Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations.

I love the variety this lesson presents the students with! Perfect for review before a big test and awarding the students for their hard work with a game. Love the Jeopardy game!
