Proportional Relationships Unit: Writing Ratios Comparing Unit Rates Percentage

Ontario math teachers LOVE this Proportional Reasoning unit to teach writing ratios, comparing ratios, simplifying ratios, comparing unit rates, and solving percentage proportions. It contains Google lessons, activities, assessments, and more.

It contains activities that require students to use and develop their Knowledge, Application, Thinking, and Communication skills in a way that will prepare them for success in grade 9.

WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE PROPORTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS UNIT?

LESSON PLANS

We have created lessons which correspond to each of the expectations of the Ontario curriculum. All lessons follow a 3-part format including expectations, learning goals, examples, minds on activities, action activities, extension/discussion activities, and consolidation activities. In some instances, there are two lessons to cover an expectation because of the depth and/or difficulty. I would suggest you move on at pace appropriate for your students.

• Lesson 1: real-life proportional relationships
• Lesson 2: problems involving proportions
• Lesson 3: problems involving percents
• Lesson 4: problems involving rates

GOOGLE SLIDES presentation for each lesson

I project these in my classroom for students to see. It reduces photocopies and makes life much easier because setup is done in advance.

STATIONS (CENTRES)

Give your students to work on the material in a different way. I use this an opportunity to spend some time with GUIDED GROUPS (Questions included) for the first half of the period and monitor/assess during the second half of the period. If you have a challenging class, this can a difficult routine to establish, but well worth the effort!

• Using Manipulatives

STUDY GUIDE and UNIT TEST (with answer keys). I give the students the STUDY GUIDE at the beginning of the unit and have them meet with me periodically before the test to ensure they understand the material

I HAVE... WHO HAS... game (Review of Proportions and Rates)

It has proven to be a great activity for content review and developing teamwork within my class
