Unit price and speed. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

I can find what 1 costs, then use it to find what any number of items cost.
I can find how many items an amount of money buys by dividing by the price of 1.
I can use a steady speed to find how far something goes, or how long it takes.

Standard: 6.RP.A.3b

unit price: What 1 item costs.

speed: How far something goes in 1 hour, 1 minute or 1 second.

steady (constant) speed: The speed never changes, so the distance grows by the same amount each hour.

row with 1: The table row that shows the amount for just 1 item or 1 hour.

ratio table: A table where every row is a ratio that matches the others.

Your child found the price of 1 (or the speed) and stopped there.

Your child used the whole price or distance as if it were for just one.

Your child added the extra to the price or distance instead of multiplying. Try a shopping example: if 1 costs $3, ask what 5 cost.

Ask: that is the price for one; how much is it for the amount in the question?

Ask: what is this number the price (or the distance) of?
