Teaching Rates & Ratios {Grade 6}

One of the building skills that needs mastery for seventh grade is learning rates and ratios. In sixth grade students learn the foundations for how to solve proportions in seventh grade. Students have prior knowledge of numbers, expressions, and division to help them in learning how to solve rates and ratios.

 

I have listed here activities to review and practice Rates and Ratios. I hope these help jump start your lesson planning into the world of Rates and Ratios. The key to getting your students involved in the learning process is to include interactive, visual, engaging activities for them to actively participate in.
