In Comparing with Ratio students develop the understanding that ratio compares amounts by using multiplication and division. Through five engaging activities, students see ratio in real-life situations; use verbal and symbolic representations to describe ratio; develop proportional thinking skills; work with ratio in charts, as ordered pairs, as fractions and decimals; visually estimate ratios; use multiplication to determine equivalent ratios; and test a scientific hypothesis comparing ratios. In each activity, students have the opportunity to apply concepts by creating their own problem sets. Students save their work in an on-screen student notebook, which contains a glossary of terms to help students as they write about the activities.
Comparing With Ratio integrates realistic contexts and cross-curricular ideas with exciting math activities. A complete teacher's guide provides discussion plans and assessment suggestions. In this investigation, students have opportunities to:
- Observe ratios through amusing scenes typical of middle school students
- Represent ratio using words and symbols such as three to five, 3:5, and 3/5
- Represent ratio in decimal and fraction form
- Estimate ratios visually
- Develop spatial sense by using ratio to find similarity in rectangles
- Develop operations skills by using ratio to create in color mixtures
- Understand the multiplicative relationships of equivalent ratios
- Analyze data involving ratio using charts and graphs
