Teacher's field guide
What This Cluster Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students use ratio and rate reasoning to solve problems with tables, graphs, unit rates, percentages, and unit conversions. They represent equivalent relationships and choose a fitting strategy.
What Mastery Looks Like
- The student completes and graphs an equivalent-ratio table, finds a unit rate, and solves part-whole percent problems. The student converts units within one measurement system with correct labels.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may add equal amounts instead of scaling both ratio quantities. They may confuse a percent with a decimal amount or convert units across unrelated measurement systems.
How to Assess It
- Give a recipe ratio of 3 cups flour to 2 batches. Ask students to complete a table, find flour per batch, and determine flour for 250 percent as many batches.

Ways to Teach It
Build equivalent ratios with counters, record a table, and plot the ordered pairs.
Ask students when a table, tape diagram, double number line, or equation is most helpful.
Play Ratio Route with stations for unit rate, percent, and within-system conversion problems.
Compare grocery unit prices and convert package weights within the same measurement system.
