In this Slide Show, do a hands-on geometry activity to measure π. Note: The download is a PPT file.

In this foundational lesson, students embark on a journey to understand the concept of ratios, a crucial building block in mathematics that compares two or more quantities. Through engaging activities and practical examples, learners will:

In this lesson, students will deepen their understanding of equivalent ratios and their role in proportional reasoning. By exploring real-world applications, students will develop the skills to recognize, create, and use equivalent ratios in practical situations. The lesson introduces multiple strategies for working with equivalent ratios, including ratio tables, scaling up and down, and solving problems using proportional reasoning.

Key components of this lesson include:

This lesson introduces seventh-grade students to ratios and unit rates, emphasizing their real-world applications. Through engaging activities and problem-solving exercises, students will develop proportional reasoning skills.

This lesson introduces seventh-grade students to unit rates and complex fractions, helping them develop a deeper understanding of proportional relationships and fraction operations. Students will learn to compute unit rates with fractional quantities, simplify complex fractions, and apply these skills to real-world situations such as speed calculations, recipe adjustments, and measurement conversions.

In this lesson, students explore ratios and proportional relationships, building on their prior knowledge to deepen their understanding of proportional reasoning. They will analyze proportional relationships in tables, graphs, and equations while identifying the constant of proportionality and its significance in real-world applications.

Ratios

Description

This math clip art image is a title card for a series of math clip art images that apply equivalent ratios problems. The subsequent images show different vehicle ratios.

This image, along with the overall collection, can be used to teach ratios by comparing the number of cars to other vehicle types or parking spaces. Teachers can use this visual to introduce the concept of part-to-whole ratios, such as the ratio of cars to total vehicles, or part-to-part ratios, like comparing the number of cars to motorcycles or SUVs in subsequent images.

Ratios

Description

This math clip art image presents a graph plotting ratio pairs with cars on the x-axis and motorcycles on the y-axis. The points (4, 1), (8, 2), (12, 3), (16, 4), and (20, 5) are plotted on the coordinate plane. This visual representation is crucial in teaching the concept of equivalent ratios and their graphical interpretation.
