About this resource

What's inside this resource

The 6th Grade Ratios + Proportional Relationships: Student Guided Notes is a great packet to hand out to students during your ratio unit.

This is a great way for students to keep track of their learning.

You can use these during whole group instruction or even small group remediation

These notes are detailed with graphic organizers and fill in the blanks.

Answer keys are included.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Students use ratio language to describe the relationship between two quantities (6.RP.A.1).
Students find and use unit rates to solve real-world rate problems (6.RP.A.2).
Students make tables of equivalent ratios and use them to compare ratios (6.RP.A.3a).

Teaching tips

The included how-to-use page recommends folding and storing the notes in a folder, binder, or a glued-in composition-book pocket, with no gluing needed for the trifold itself.
The vendor notes screenshotting each notes page into a slide deck and completing it alongside students during whole-group instruction, or using the same pages for small-group remediation.
When printing, select 'Shrink Oversized Pages' so the trifold layout prints correctly. Use these equivalent ratio notes when students need more worked examples.

Skills covered

Ratio language — students describe relationships between two quantities using ratio vocabulary (6.RP.A.1).
Unit rate reasoning — students calculate and apply unit rates to compare costs, speeds, and quantities (6.RP.A.2).
Equivalent ratio tables — students build and use tables of equivalent ratios to compare and find missing values (6.RP.A.3a).

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

How is each section of the trifold structured?

Every section follows the same three-part flow: a 'What do you already know?' prior-knowledge warm-up, a guided 'Making Connections' worked example, and a 'What have you learned?' independent practice set, with the matching CCSS standard printed directly on the notes page.

How does the vendor suggest using these notes in class?

The included how-to-use page suggests projecting each notes page and completing it alongside students during whole-group instruction, or using the same pages for small-group remediation, then storing the folded notes in a binder or a glued-in composition-book pocket.

Curriculum

Standards, concepts & topics

Standards

6.RP.A.1 — Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities. For example, “The ratio of wings to beaks in the bird house at the zoo was 2:1, because for every 2 wings there was 1 beak.” “For every vote candidate A received, candidate C received nearly three votes.”
6.RP.A.2 — Understand the concept of a unit rate a/b associated with a ratio a:b with b ≠ 0, and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship. For example, “This recipe has a ratio of 3 cups of flour to 4 cups of sugar, so there is 3/4 cup of flour for each cup of sugar.” “We paid $75 for 15 hamburgers, which is a rate of $5 per hamburger.”1
6.RP.A.3 — 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. 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. 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? 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. d. Use ratio reasoning to convert measurement units; manipulate and transform units appropriately when multiplying or dividing quantities.
