Unit Rate

LEAP 21 Warm-up

Lesson OverviewGuiding Question: Can students set up and solve proportions

representing real-life problems, including those with fractions, decimals, and integers?

Can students create a product that shows mastery of unit rates?

Grade Level Expectation#9. Find unit/cost rates and apply them in real-life problems (N-8-M) (N-5-M)

(A-5-M)

In this lesson, students will determine unit rate of several items. Students will create a game using PowerPoint to practice finding unit rate.

LET’S ASK A GLENCOE PERSONAL TUTOR

$7 ÷ 2 packages =

$3.50/package

$0.89 ÷ 16=$0.055/ounce

Rounded to nearest cent - $0.06/ounce

This example was simple, but let’s go through the math that guided us to our answer.

$10 ÷ 4 = $2.50/12pk.

$11 ÷ 4 = $2.75/12pk

Let’s go through the math that will guide us to our answer.

$10 ÷ 4 = $2.50/12pk.

$11 ÷ 4 = $2.75/12pk
