Ratios and Rates Mini-Assessment
- Description
- Files
This mini-assessment is designed to illustrate some of the expectations of cluster 6.RP.A, which sets an expectation for understanding ratio concepts and using ratio reasoning to solve problems. This mini-assessment is designed for teachers to use either in the classroom, for self-learning, or in professional development settings to:
- Evaluate students' understanding of 6.RP.A in order to prepare to teach this material or to check for student ability to demonstrate understanding and application of these concepts;
- Gain knowledge about assessing ratio and rate application problems; and
- Illustrate CCSS-aligned assessment problems.
- Mathematically:
- Aligns largely with standard 6.RP.A.3, which is an application standard that is anchored in the conceptual understanding of ratio and rate
- Requires some decimal computation to give students practice with a variety of numbers while responding to authentic, real-world application questions
- Targets a variety of student solution paths including ratio tables, graphs, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, and unit rates
- As a mini-assessment:
- Offers sample solution methods in the answer key that illustrate some of the many ways that students may solve these questions
- Includes short conceptual questions as well as multi-step application questions with varying levels of scaffolding
