Previously Published Data 

1.) Students will solve various rate problems using a table, graph, or chart and stating the general rule: A student earns $5.00 per hour for baby sitting. How much will the student earn in 6 hours? If you work 6 hours per week, which rate of pay gives you the highest weekly earning? 

$5.00 per hour  

$32 dollars per week  

$0.10 per minute 


2.) Students will use standard rulers to measure various objects in the classroom, such as books, pencils, desks. Then they will record and convert measurements from inches to centimeters. 

Previously Published Data 

1.) Students will write their own problems dealing with rate. They will write the problem, show the solution, and explain how the solution was obtained. Students can exchange the problems with classmates and solve each other's work.
