Tucker Middle School Math Lesson Plan

Teacher: Insogna
Mon. GSE:
MGSE6.RP.1 Understand the concept
of a ratio and use ratio language to
describe a ratio relationship between
two quantities.
MGSE6.RP.2 Understand the concept
of a unit rate a/b associated with a
ratio a:b with b 0 (b not equal to
zero), and use rate language in the
context of a ratio relationship.
MGSE6.RP.3c Find a percent of a
quantity as a rate per 100 (e.g. 30% of
a quantity means 30/100 times the
quantity); given a percent, solve
problems involving finding the whole
given a part and the part given the
whole.
MGSE6.RP.3d Given a conversion
factor, use ratio reasoning to convert
measurement units within one system
of measurement and between two
systems of measurements (customary
and metric); manipulate and transform
units appropriately when multiplying or
dividing quantities. For example, given
1 in. = 2.54 cm, how many centimeters
are in 6 inches?
ESSENTIAL QUESTION:
What kinds of problems can I solve by
using ratios?
How can I tell if a relationship is
multiplicative?
What is the difference between a
multiplicative and an additive
relationship?
What are equivalent ratios?
What are rates?
How are unit rates helpful in solving realworld problems?
How are ratios and rates similar and
different?
