A practice set of multi-step CAASPP-style problems on ratios and unit rates, set in everyday contexts like grocery shopping and recipes. It builds skills in reasoning with rates, comparing unit prices, and explaining solutions, and it includes worked examples and a double number line to support students as they work through each problem.
“A CAASPP-style math problem set with multi-step questions on ratios and rates using real-world contexts”
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a 45-minute independent or partner practice block after students have been introduced to ratios and unit rates, or as a review before a unit assessment.
- Discussion question: Why does dividing the total cost by the number of ounces give you a price that works for comparing different bottle sizes?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Walk through the worked example on the juice bottle together, have students label the double number line, and read each word problem aloud in pairs before solving.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to create their own best-buy comparison using three package sizes and justify which one offers the lowest unit price.
- Estimated time: About 40 to 50 minutes for the full set, depending on how many multi-step problems you assign.
