Unit rates

Target: Find a per-one rate by dividing.

Language target: Say the rate “per 1.”

Likely miss: Students multiply the two measurements or divide the unit into the total.

Ask: Which quantity did you make equal to 1?

If you see it: Ask which quantity should become 1, and which number is being shared.

Evidence to listen for: The student states the per-one amount with both units.

Next: If division order flips, keep the sentence “per 1” visible and try a smaller total.

Homework mark for this device

Until a teacher sets it here, family practice is optional. Stars are an incentive, not a grade. This setting is local. It is not a district roster.

Observable student moves: names both quantities, uses the represented relationship, and revises after feedback. This companion is not a score.
