What educators are saying

Proportions are an important concept to start early. They are central to developing concepts and skills related to slope, constant rate of change, and similar figures, which are all fundamental to algebraic concepts and skills.
I haven't found many quality products out there focusing specifically on proportions. This aligns with our curriculum.

Description

Introduction To Proportions: Finding Similar Ratios & Solving Word Problems - VETERAN Montessori-inspired printable Math help (4 pages + key):


Explore the basics of proportions. These pages guide young mathematicians to:

  • Review the concept of similar shapes and how they relate to scale factors
  • Practice calculating missing antecedents and/or consequents
  • Practice converting word problems into simple math problems
  • Visualize example ratio problems using the Montessori Peg Board material
  • Use domain-specific phrases and learn Mathematical Terminology such as: Antecedent, consequent, equivalent, similar, scale factors, and proportional.

What exactly is a ratio? A ratio is the relative size of two quantities expressed as one divided by the other (a fraction). The first quantity of the ratio is called antecedent whereas the second quantity is called consequent. Practice calculating missing antecedents and/or consequents. Discover scale factors, how to calculate them and how to apply them.

Use domain-specific phrases and learn Mathematical Terminology such as: Antecedent, consequent, equivalent, scale factors, and proportional. Ratio examples using the Montessori Peg Board material are included!

Dr. Maria Montessori believed the only way our world would find lasting peace was through educating our children. Much of her elementary curriculum was written by her during a period of internment in India during WWII. This time period helped solidify Dr. Montessori’s belief in Peace Education.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Interpret multiplication as scaling (resizing), by:
Comparing the size of a product to the size of one factor on the basis of the size of the other factor, without performing the indicated multiplication.
Solve real world problems involving multiplication of fractions and mixed numbers, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem.
Apply and extend previous understandings of division to divide unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions.
Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities. For example, “The ratio of wings to beaks in the bird house at the zoo was 2:1, because for every 2 wings there was 1 beak.” “For every vote candidate A received, candidate C received nearly three votes.”
