CCR Focus Standards

Number and Ratios - Level D

6.RP.3
Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations.
6.RP.3c
Find a percent of a quantity as a rate per 100 (e.g., 30% of a quantity means 30/100 times the quantity); solve problems involving finding the whole, given a part and the percent.

Supporting Standards

6.RP.3a
Make tables of equivalent ratios relating quantities with whole- number measurements, find missing values in the tables, and plot the pairs of values on the coordinate plane. Use tables to compare ratios.

Standards for Mathematical Practice

MP.2
Reason abstractly and quantitatively. (MP.2)
MP.7
Look for and make use of structure. (MP.7)

KYAE Employability Standards
