Ratios & Proportions
Ratios compare two quantities, showing their relative sizes. Students learn to write ratios in multiple forms, find equivalent ratios, and solve problems using proportional reasoning.
Ratios are fundamental to proportional thinking, which underlies fractions, percentages, slope, rates, scaling, and countless real-world applications from cooking to architecture. Ratio understanding is essential for success in algebra and beyond.
Teaching Tips
Use double number lines and ratio tables as visual tools. Connect ratios to fractions but emphasize differences. Use familiar contexts (recipes, mixing colors, sports statistics). Teach unit rates explicitly. Practice setting up and solving proportions systematically.
Have students write ratios from descriptions or pictures. Test equivalent ratio understanding. Include rate problems (unit rates). Ask students to solve proportion problems. Use contextual problems requiring ratio reasoning (recipes, maps, scale drawings).
