The worksheet titled "Multiplication and Division Word Problems that Feature Rates" has pages that contain four different word problems. Many problems feature questions that relate to rates without explicitly saying so. For example, one question asks students how many pages a printer can print in one minute if it can print 48 pages in 6 minutes. Some problems, like the previous one, involve unit rates, while others do not. For example, a question might ask how long it would take to fill 4 water bottles if a student can fill one in 28 seconds.

Each problem involves multiplication or division, but students have to figure out what operation to use in most problems. Different questions might include money, fractions, or distances. Each question is contained within a rectangle. Some rectangles include more than one question, but all the questions relate to each other. Space is included so students can write out their thinking as well as the answer.

Word problems are a great way to get students to think about rates in real-world examples. Students can figure out how many pages a printer can print or how long it would take to fill multiple water bottles. Different problems can include money, like getting paid for working a certain number of hours. Others can include fractions, like how long it takes to mow the lawn if it takes a certain amount of time to mow a fraction of the yard.

Students have to figure out if the problem is asking them to use multiplication or division to find the answer, which helps them build their problem-solving skills. You could also have them talk about how the problems do or don't involve rates and why, as a way for them to practice their critical thinking skills.
