Rates and Unit Rates
Calculating and interpreting rates of change in time, distance, and monetary contexts.
Key Questions
- What does a rate tell us about the relationship between two different units of measure?
- How can we compare efficiency using unit rates?
- In what ways does average speed differ from instantaneous speed in a real journey?

5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
