Content Emphasis/ Big Ideas

Students will identify the unit rate of a proportional relationship represented by a table of values, a contextual situation, or a graph. They will determine a missing value in a ratio table that represents a proportional relationship between two quantities using a unit rate. They should recognize whether a proportional relationship exists between two quantities, when given a table of values, context, or graph. When given a contextual situation representing a proportional relationship, students will be able to find the unit rate and create a table of values or a graph. 

Standards:

  • 6.PFA.2 The student will identify and represent proportional relationships between two quantities, including those in context (unit rates are limited to positive values).
