Students are continuing to practice determining Rates from a phrase or word problem and then calculating Unit Rates from this information. Unit Rates will ALWAYS have 1 as their denominator!

Students also had practice with scaling today. Scaling is a form of calculating ratios in which you “scale down” to determine a unit rate and then using that ratio to “scale up” to find the rate you are looking for. See your student’s homework tonight, #3 on the front side for an example of scaling!
