This formative is by Kelly Quinn! Below, she describes how each 6th grade Common Core standard is assessed in it so you can see how it fits into what you are already teaching!

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.RP.A.3.A
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.

Students are given a ratio and are asked to fill in a ratio table. They are expected to use the ratio and/or table to extend the values to a larger number.

Amanda is hiking with her daughter, Mia, who is only 1 years old and has short legs. For every 3 steps Amanda takes, Mia takes 5 steps just to keep up. Add labels to the columns of the table and place the ratio into the first row of data. Add equivalent ratios to build a ratio table.

Ratio Table while Hiking

Amanda is hiking with her daughter, Mia, who is only 1 years old and has short legs. For every 3 steps Amanda takes, Mia takes 5 steps just to keep up. Add labels to the columns of the table and place the ratio into the first row of data. Add equivalent ratios to build a ratio table.

If Amanda took 42 steps, how many steps would Mia take?
