Ratios and percentages for grades 6–7

Quick answer

This playlist for grades 6–7 (ages 11–13) covers ratios, unit rates, proportions and percentages, from Math Antics' "Ratios And Rates" and "What Are Percentages?" to Khan Academy word problems on discounts and sales tax. Loop one worked example with A–B, slow it to 0.75×, and repeat it until each step is clear.

How does an A–B loop help with percent word problems?

Most percent videos solve several problems in a row. Loop just the one your student is stuck on, from reading the question to the final answer, and it repeats on its own while they follow how the percent becomes a decimal or fraction and gets multiplied.

When should a student slow a lesson to 0.75×?

Slow down for the setup of a proportion or a percent change, where a teacher quickly decides which number goes on top. At 0.75× there is time to copy the setup, then play the rest of the example at normal speed.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a ratio and a rate?

A ratio compares two quantities, like 3 cats to 5 dogs. A rate compares quantities with different units, like 60 miles per hour, and a unit rate is the amount for one unit. Math Antics' "Ratios And Rates" explains both.

Which videos should a student watch first?

Start with Khan Academy's "Introduction to ratios" and Math Antics' "What Are Percentages?", then move to proportions, percent of a number, and finally percent change, discounts and sales tax.
