Exploring Ratios and Rates in 6th Grade Math

The video tutorial by Education Galaxy introduces the concepts of ratios and rates, using practical examples from a bakery setting. Kylie explains how ratios compare two quantities and can be expressed in different forms. She uses graphic organizers to find equivalent ratios and demonstrates how rates are ratios with different units, such as speed or gas mileage. The tutorial also covers mixing colors using ratios and concludes with a summary and encouragement for viewers to practice on their own.
