Unit Rate

We began working with Unit Rates in math class today.

The short version...

If I buy a six pack of soda for $1.80, the rate is 6 sodas for $1.80, but the unit rate is $0.30 per soda.

From hotmath.com

After briefly talking about various ways that we could solve for and determine unit rate, we each began working with a Stop and Shop circular to find food and other items that were being sold by the pound or at a group rate (3 for $9.99).  We will continue our activity on Monday as we plan a meal for our families using unit rates and purchasing items in multiple values.

Have a great weekend and remember that we have our quiz on Wednesday!
