An Experience in Relationships as Measuring Rate

Students compute unit rates associated with ratios of quantities measured in different units. Students use the context of the problem to recall the meanings of value of a ratio, equivalent ratios, rate, and unit rate, relating them to the context of the experience. The first example requires students to write ratios, equivalent ratios, rates, and unit rates. To start this first class of the school year, conduct an exercise in how to pass out papers.
