Worksheet Description

This worksheet, themed around video games, features a variety of unit rate word problems. Students are asked to calculate the rates of experience points earned per hour in a multiplayer game, gold coins collected per day in a role-playing game, miles traveled per hour in a racing game, levels completed per hour, and points scored per hour in another game. Additional problems involve computing the daily resource gathering rate in a strategy game, puzzles solved per minute in a puzzle game, opponent defeat rates per hour, platform jumps per minute, and coin collection rates per minute.

The worksheet is aimed at teaching students how to calculate unit rates, a key concept in understanding how different quantities are related to each other over a fixed amount of time. Through engaging with familiar and enjoyable contexts such as video games, students practice dividing total quantities by time to find the average rate of activity. This helps to enhance their problem-solving skills and numerical reasoning. Additionally, by framing mathematical problems in the context of video gaming, the worksheet makes learning about rates and ratios more relatable and fun for students.
