Interactive/Game

Overview:

In this interactive activity, students will be led through steps to generate ratios in word form, fraction form, and ratio form. There are teaching activities as well as practice activities available. A handout that reviews the steps taught during the activity can be printed. After utilizing this resource, the students can complete the short quiz to assess their understanding.

Content Standard(s):

Mathematics
MA2019 (2019)
Grade: 6

1. Use appropriate notations [a/b, a to b, a:b] to represent a proportional relationship between quantities and use ratio language to describe the relationship between quantities.

Unpacked Content

Evidence Of Student Attainment:

Students: Given contextual or mathematical situations involving multiplicative comparisons.

Communicate the relationship of two or more quantities using ratio language.

Teacher Vocabulary:

Ratio
Ratio Language
Part-to-Part
Part-to-Whole
Attributes
Quantity
Measures
Fraction

Knowledge:

Students know:

Characteristics of additive situations.
Characteristics of multiplicative situations

Skills:

Students are able to:

Compare and contrast additive vs. multiplicative contextual situations.
Identify all ratios and describe them using "For every…, there are…"
Identify a ratio as a part-to-part or a part-to whole comparison.
Represent multiplicative comparisons in ratio notation and language (e.g., using words such as "out of" or "to" before using the symbolic notation of the colon and then the fraction bar. for example, 3 out of 7, 3 to 5, 6:7 and then 4/5).

Understanding:

Students understand that:

In a multiplicative comparison situation one quantity changes at a constant rate with respect to a second related quantity. -Each ratio when expressed in forms: ie 10/5, 10:5 and/or 10 to 5 can be simplified to equivalent ratios, -Explain the relationships and differences between fractions and ratios.

Diverse Learning Needs:

Essential Skills:

Learning Objectives:
M.6.1.1: Define quantity, fraction, and ratio.
M.6.1.2: Identify the units or quantities being compared.
Example: Read 2/3 as 2 out of 3.
M.6.1.3: Write a ratio in appropriate notation;[a/b, a to b, a:b].
M.6.1.4: Draw a model of a given ratio or fraction.
M.6.1.5: Identify the numerator and denominator of a fraction.

Prior Knowledge Skills:

Compare two fractions with the same numerator or the same denominator by reasoning about their size.
Addition and subtraction of fractions as joining and separating parts referring to the same whole.
Label numerator, denominator, and fraction bar.
Recognize fraction 1 as the quantity formed by 1 part when a whole is partitioned into b equal parts.

Alabama Alternate Achievement Standards
