Common Core Math: Grade 6: Ratios & Proportions

In sixth grade, students are introduced to the concept of a ratio between two quantities. From ratios, students compute unit rates and interpret them in real-world contexts. Students reason with ratios and represent their thinking with tables of equivalent ratios, points in the coordinate plane, tape diagrams, number line diagrams and equations. Students solve problems involving percents and rates and use ratio reasoning to convert between units of measurement.
