Essential and guiding questions:
Whole Group Questions:
- What was the ratio in this problem?
- How can I use a ratio to find unknown quantity?
- Who can explain to the class how we would find the unit rate in this problem on the graph?
- How could we find the unit rate from the table?
- Is there more than one unit rate?
- What does the unit rate mean?
- Why would finding the unit rate help us answer the question?
- What is the relationship between the table, graph and the equation?
- Can someone pose another problem for the class by providing us a rate to use? (ie. Johnny drove 30 miles in 20 minutes and Stacy drove 24 miles in 15 minutes to get to the the movie theater. Which person was driving faster to get to the movies?)
