In the video below, I look at a Major cluster of Grade 6 Math Standards at Achieve the Core, poke holes in Estimation 180 with its lack of ratio tasks, give Illustrative Mathematics some well-deserved love, and glance at couple online teacher resources... ALL with good intentions: bring life to ratios for Grade 6 students.

If you know someone who teaches ratios in grades 5-8, then please share this blog post with them. Click here if you'd like a free preview of the Estimation 180 Toolkit or subscribe to gain full access to all the videos, reveals, teacher notes, handouts and games in the Grade 6 Toolkit.
