Common Core Standard 6.RP.A.3 Lesson Plans

In (6.RP.A.3), the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics reads ‘Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations.’

  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.RP.A.3.A
    Make tables of equivalent ratios relating quantities with whole-number measurements, find missing values in the tables, and plot the pairs of values on the coordinate plane. Use tables to compare ratios.
  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.RP.A.3.B
    Solve unit rate problems including those involving unit pricing and constant speed.For example, if it took 7 hours to mow 4 lawns, then at that rate, how many lawns could be mowed in 35 hours? At what rate were lawns being mowed?
  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.RP.A.3.C
    Find a percent of a quantity as a rate per 100 (e.g., 30% of a quantity means 30/100 times the quantity); solve problems involving finding the whole, given a part and the percent.
  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.RP.A.3.D
    Use ratio reasoning to convert measurement units; manipulate and transform units appropriately when multiplying or dividing quantities.
