What educators are saying

I used this in a seventh grade class, and several sixth grade classes. It was EXCELLENT for helping students understand how to represent ratios and proportions in numerous ways. I strongly recommend this!
This was a great way to put all of the information we have learned about proportional relationships together in one activity! It was a great resource which the students had a productive struggle, loved it!

Description

- This ratios and proportions activity includes print and digital versions ( google slides ). The activity includes rates and equivalent ratios using real life word problems. The activity is ideal for 6th and 7th grade classrooms. The proportional relationships are represented in 4 different forms: verbal description, equivalent ratio tables, graphing and algebraic proportions.

- Using the given information, the students will generate the other 3 representations ( verbal, table, graph and/or algebraic) for the proportional situation.

-The students will solve the proportions using the constant of proportionality or scale factor.

-The activity is differentiated.

This activity can be used in a workstation (Math center), homework or whole class activity.

Content:

  • 4 pages with a verbal description.
  • 2 pages with a table representation.
  • 2 pages with a graph representation.
  • 2 pages with a picture representation.
  • 2 pages with an algebraic representation.
  • 1 blank page for the students or teacher to create a ratios and proportions problem.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
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.”
Understand the concept of a unit rate 𝘢/𝘣 associated with a ratio 𝘢:𝘣 with 𝘣 ≠ 0, and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship. For example, “This recipe has a ratio of 3 cups of flour to 4 cups of sugar, so there is 3/4 cup of flour for each cup of sugar.” “We paid $75 for 15 hamburgers, which is a rate of $5 per hamburger.”
Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations.
Make tables of equivalent ratios relating quantities with whole-number measurements, find missing values in the tables, and plot the pairs of values on the coordinate plane. Use tables to compare ratios.
Solve unit rate problems including those involving unit pricing and constant speed. For example, if it took 7 hours to mow 4 lawns, then at that rate, how many lawns could be mowed in 35 hours? At what rate were lawns being mowed?
