Ratios

Description

This math clip art image showcases a black SUV in a parking garage with numbered pillars in the background. The caption "20 SUVs" provides crucial information for understanding ratios in the context of different vehicle types. This image is part of a series designed to teach equivalent ratios using various vehicles as relatable examples.

The image serves as a visual aid to help students understand the concept of ratios in a real-world scenario. By presenting a specific number of SUVs (20), it allows for comparison with other vehicle types, such as cars and motorcycles, introduced in previous images. This concrete representation helps students transition from abstract numerical concepts to practical applications of ratios in everyday situations.

Using math clip art like this to teach ratios is particularly effective as it engages visual learners and provides a tangible reference point for discussions. Teachers can use this image in combination with others in the series to explore various ratio-related questions, such as comparing the number of SUVs to cars or motorcycles, or calculating the fraction of total vehicles that SUVs represent.

Teacher's Script: "We've now seen that there are 20 SUVs in our parking garage. Remember, we also had 40 cars and 10 motorcycles. How can we express the relationships between these different vehicle types as ratios? Can you create a table showing the ratios between all three vehicle types? What patterns do you notice in these ratios?"
