Instructional Ideas
- Randomly assign class members four problems to solve, allow them to work individually or in small groups to receive extra support from their peers
- Implement as an exit ticket; assign one problem and review correct answers for dissmissal—repeat the process four times to use the entire sheet
- Go over word problems prior to independent practice; demonstrate how to circle, underline, or highlight key information for those in need of extra support
Classroom Considerations
- There are eight problems, but only four spaces to show work; provide extra worksheets if you assign all eight problems
- Assumes pupils have knowledge of solving unit rate word problems
- The resource is the second of six in a series created for substitutes visiting a sixth grade classroom
Pros
- Provides adequate space for learners to write directly on the worksheet
- Page one's bright and colorful background enhances engagement
Cons
- None
