6.2 Introducing Ratios

Lesson 1

  • I can write or say a sentence that describes a ratio.
  • I know how to say words and numbers in the correct order to accurately describe the ratio.

Lesson 2

  • I can draw a diagram that represents a ratio and explain what the diagram means.
  • I include labels when I draw a diagram representing a ratio, so that the meaning of the diagram is clear.

Lesson 3

  • I can explain the meaning of equivalent ratios using a recipe as an example.
  • I can use a diagram to represent a recipe, a double batch, and a triple batch of a recipe.
  • I know what it means to double or triple a recipe.

Lesson 4

  • I can explain the meaning of equivalent ratios using a color mixture as an example.
  • I can use a diagram to represent a single batch, a double batch, and a triple batch of a color mixture.
  • I know what it means to double or triple a color mixture.

Lesson 5

  • If I have a ratio, I can create a new ratio that is equivalent to it.
  • If I have two ratios, I can decide whether they are equivalent to each other.

Lesson 6

  • I can label a double number line diagram to represent batches of a recipe or color mixture.
  • When I have a double number line that represents a situation, I can explain what it means.

Lesson 7

  • I can create a double number line diagram and correctly place and label tick marks to represent equivalent ratios.
  • I can explain what the word per means.

Lesson 8

  • I can choose and create diagrams to help me reason about prices.
  • I can explain what the phrase “at this rate” means, using prices as an example.
  • If I know the price of multiple things, I can find the price per thing.

Lesson 9

  • I can choose and create diagrams to help me reason about constant speed.
  • If I know an object is moving at a constant speed, and I know two of these things: the distance it travels, the amount of time it takes, and its speed, I can find the other thing.

Lesson 10

  • I can decide whether or not two situations are happening at the same rate.
  • I can explain what it means when two situations happen at the same rate.
  • I know some examples of situations where things can happen at the same rate.

Lesson 11

  • If I am looking at a table of values, I know where the rows are and where the columns are.
  • When I see a table representing a set of equivalent ratios, I can come up with numbers to make a new row.
  • When I see a table representing a set of equivalent ratios, I can explain what the numbers mean.

Lesson 12

  • I can solve problems about situations happening at the same rate by using a table and finding a “1” row.
  • I can use a table of equivalent ratios to solve problems about unit price.

Lesson 13

  • I can create a table that represents a set of equivalent ratios.
  • I can explain why sometimes a table is easier to use than a double number line to solve problems involving equivalent ratios.
  • I include column labels when I create a table, so that the meaning of the numbers is clear.

Lesson 14

  • I can decide what information I need to know to be able to solve problems about situations happening at the same rate.
  • I can explain my reasoning using diagrams that I choose.

Lesson 15

  • I can create tape diagrams to help me reason about problems involving a ratio and a total amount.
  • I can solve problems when I know a ratio and a total amount.

Lesson 16

  • I can choose and create diagrams to help think through my solution.
  • I can solve all kinds of problems about equivalent ratios.
  • I can use diagrams to help someone else understand why my solution makes sense.

Lesson 17

  • I can apply what I have learned about ratios and rates to solve a more complicated problem.
  • I can decide what information I need to know to be able to solve a real-world problem about ratios and rates.
