Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Solve Unit Rate Problems. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

The unit rate is a comparison and does not refer to the units (cups, feet, secs etc.). The unit rate shows the relationship to 1, “for each 1” or “for every 1.”
Ratios have associated rates that relate to the unit ratio (5 feet in 3 seconds has a rate of 5/3 feet for every 1 second).
Ratios are expressed as “for each” and “per”
Ratios can have the same units (ratios) or different units (rates). The term Ratio can be used for same and different units as well.
Special attention to the correct placement of units is key.
