Task Card #3 Ratios Where or Where Did My Value Go?

Be able to 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. Also, be able to use tables to compare ratios.

Demonstrate an understanding of what a unit rate is by using rate language. (2/3 miles per gallon means 2 miles for every 3
gallon)

Task: Examine these Ratio Tables of two different recipes for making Chocolate Milk.
Figure out what the missing values are. (Hint: find the simplifed ratio)

Mrs. Smith’s Recipe Mrs. Johnson’s recipe

Cups of Milk Cups of

Cups of Milk Cups of Chocolate

Task: When you compare the two tables; what can you conclude about the recipes?

Task: Look at standard in the box at the top and attempt to write Mrs. Smith’s recipe as a unit rate and Mrs.
Johnson’s recipe as a unit rate.

Task Card #4 “What is a Unit?”

Demonstrate an understanding of what a unit rate is by using rate language.

(2/3 mile per gallon means 2 miles for every 3 gallons)
Be able to solve unit rate problems including those involving unit pricing and constant speed.
Use ratio reasoning to convert measurement units; manipulate and transform units appropriately when multiplying or dividing
quantities.

Task: Examine the items below that you might find in a grocery store. Notice that the sale for these items is
given in a rate (multiple items for a set price). Find the unit price (unit rate), which means the price for 1
item.

Task: Locate a clock or a timer on your phone. Hop on one foot for 1 minute (60 seconds). Record you
results below. What you have found is a unit rate. The word unit means one. Now do jumping jacks for one
minutes and record your unit rate.

Hopping on one foot for 1 minute: _____________________________________________________

Jumping Jacks for 1 minute: __________________________________________________________

Task: Using your unit rate, find the following rates. A rate is comparing two different quantities.

Hopping on one foot for 3 minutes: __________________________________________________________

Jumping Jacks for 5 minutes: _______________________________________________________________

Task Card #5 “Percent”

Be able to solve problems involving finding the whole, when given a part and a percent.

Task: Examine the examples on how increments of 10% are related to place value.

Finding 10% (simply move the decimal 1 place value to the left to see what you save)

Example $3.25→ $ 3 . 2 5 → $0.325 which rounds to $0.33 (this means that if you buy something
that is $3.25 and it is 10% off, you save 33¢

Example $50.00→ $ 5 0 . 0 0 → $5.000 which rounds to $5.00 (this means that if you buy
something that is $50.00 and it is 10% off, you save $5.00

Task: Try finding 10% of these costs below.

$100.00 = ________________________ $75.00 = ______________________

$25.00 = ________________________ $10.00 = ______________________

Task: Try finding 25% of these cost below. The example below demonstrates how 25% is ¼ of 100%

Example $40.00→ Remember that 100% ÷by 4 = 25%

$40.00 ÷ 4 = $10.00 (this means that if you buy something that is $40.00 and it is 25% off,
you save $10.00)

Task: Try finding 25% of these costs below.

$100.00 = _______________________ $80.00 = _______________________

$20.00 = _______________________ $4.00 = ________________________
