Introduction: Begin the lesson by asking the students if they have ever compared prices while shopping. Explain that comparing prices is an important skill that helps us make informed decisions about how we spend our money. Today, we will be learning how to compare rates in money.

Lesson Outline: 1. Define rate: Explain that a rate is a comparison of two quantities that have different units. For example, miles per hour or dollars per hour. 2. Introduce the concept of unit rate: Explain that a unit rate is a rate in which the second quantity is one unit. For example, miles per hour can be simplified to just miles. 3. Demonstrate how to find unit rates: Use examples such as finding the unit rate of a 12-pack of soda that costs $4.80 or a 24-pack of soda that costs $9.60. 4. Practice finding unit rates: Provide students with a worksheet or interactive activity to practice finding unit rates. 5. Compare rates: Once students have a good understanding of unit rates, introduce the concept of comparing rates. Use examples such as comparing the unit rate of two different brands of cereal or two different gas stations. 6. Practice comparing rates: Provide students with a worksheet or interactive activity to practice comparing rates.

Questioning: 1. What is a rate? 2. What is a unit rate? 3. How do you find a unit rate? 4. Why is it important to compare rates?

Assessment: Assess students’ understanding of comparing rates by providing them with a real-world scenario and asking them to compare rates and explain their reasoning.

Differentiation: For students who need extra support, provide them with a step-by-step guide for finding unit rates. For students who need a challenge, provide them with more complex scenarios to compare rates.

Plenary: End the lesson by asking students to share one thing they learned about comparing rates in money. Encourage them to think about how they can use this skill in their everyday lives.
