Ratio

Definition

A ratio is a way to relate 2 or more quantities. For example, the ratio 3:2 could describe: 1. A recipe that uses 3 cups of flour for every 2 eggs. 2. A boat that moves 3 meteres every 2 seconds. 3. A diagram that has 3 blue squares for every 2 green squares.

Lesson 1: Introducing Ratios and ratio language

Learning Target

I can define ratios and use ratio language.

I can use my understanding of groupings to understand ratios.

Success Criteria

Problem 1

Think of different ways you could sort these figures. What categories could you use? How many groups would you have?

+ Hint

Problem 2 | Part 1

Draw the table in your notebook.

Categorize the collection that you were given, and write down the values for each category. For example,if you're sorting coins, one category name might be "Quarters", and the category amount would be the number of quarters you have in the collection.

Problem 2 | Part 2

Write at least two sentences that describe ratios in the collection. Remember, there aremany ways to write a ratio:

  1. The ratio of one category to another category is ______ to ______.
  2. The ratio of one category to another category is ______ : ______.
  3. There are ______ of one category for every ______ of another category.

+ example

Cool-Down

Write at least two sentences that describe ratios in the collection.

Reminder: quiz tomorrow after the lesson.

Equivalent Ratios

Definition

Two ratios are equivalent if each of the numbers in the first ratio can be multiplied by the same factor to get the numbers in the second ratio. For example, 8:6 is equivalent to 4:3 because 8÷2=4 and 6÷2=3.

Lesson 5: Defining Equivalent Ratios

Section A Quiz

Equivalent Ratios:When multiplying or dividing, make sure that you're using the same number to multiply or divide both parts of the ratio by. For example, 2:3 is equivalent to 10:15 because both 2 and 3 were multiplied by 5.

1. Make sure you have your name at the top of your paper.2. Answer ALL questions. 3. Turn in when you're finished and put your privacy divider away. 4. Silently go on the games in my Google Classroom.

Per

Definition

The word per means "for each". For example, the price is $5 per ticket. This means $5 must be paid for each ticket. Buying 4 tickets costs $20, because 4x5=20.

Same Rate

Definition

The phrase "same rate" is used to describe two situations that have equivalent ratios. For example, a sink is filled at a rate of 2 gallons per minute. A tub is also filled at a rate of 2 gallons per minute. So, the sink and the tub are filled at the same rate.
