Ratio Activity

1ER Quarter

6th Grade

Ratio activity

summary

That student will work on the problem on the Smartboard. If the student is having trouble with the question he/she can ask for help from their teammates. If the team get it correct, they get a point. The team with the most points at the end will receive 10 bonus points on their next test grade. The students will also be graded on their particitpation during this activity.

In this lesson, the teacher will create an activity of problems on the Smartboard. These problems will focus on "Understanding the concept of a ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities." Then, the teacher will allow the students to pick a team name. Then, the games will begin! The first group will pick a teammate and that teammate will go up to the board and pick one of the problems on the board.

6th grade:

The students in my 6th grade math class are active learners.

My students are having trouble with the concept of ratios.

A few of my students are havimg trouble with ratios.

My students are also having trouble with describing a ratio relationship between two numbers.

Most of my students just need practice with ratios for their upcoming test. This is what this lesson plan is used for.

This lesson plan is also used for the students that are struggling with this concept.

Standards:

1.7.b: Students use collorabtive technologies to work with others, including peers, experts or communtiy members, to examine issues and problems from multiple viewpoints

4- Teacher coaching and feedback: The teacher will help the students as needed and help them understand if they got the incorrect answer.

9- Directions: The students will choose a mathematical question (that is chosen from the teacher) and go up to the board and work the problem on the board. Their teammates will help them work out the problem.

5- Student reflection: Students will reflect on their work after they have completed the activity.

Visual content is a cross-cutting and universal language, like music. We are able to understand images from millions of years ago, even from other cultures.

Name Subject

Our brain is biologically wired to learn through visual content. Almost 50% of our brain is involved in processing visual stimuli.

We don't like to bore in our classes or work with flat content. It's time to bet on dynamic and interactive learning experiences that stimulate the thinking and creativity of each student.

Name Subject

Our brain is prepared to consume visual content. And it makes sense: 90% of the information we process comes to us through sight. That's why visual content helps with faster learning in many cases.
