Simplifying Ratios | Ratio & Proportion | Lesson Notes, Slides & Activities

Introduction to Ratio | Whole Unit | Lesson Notes, Slides & Activities

This purposeful unit for **Ratio** includes 5 lessons, and embeds real life scenarios throughout: **Lesson 1** - explores how mathematical relationships act as a powerful language for describing real-world patterns (multiplicative vs additive). **Lesson 2** - introduces the language of ratio to describe mathematical patterns. **Lesson 3** - explores the relationship between parts and wholes through comparing ratios and fractions. **Lesson 4** - explores how and when to simplify ratios in detail through using common factors and real life scenarios. **Lesson 5** - focuses on using and applying ratio to problem solve, and replicate a lost, ancient paint formula.I know that a ratio compares the size of one part to another part, whereas a fraction compares a part to the whole. **Knowledge:** I know that a ratio compares the size of one part to another part, whereas a fraction compares a part to the whole. I know that multiplicative relationships are used to find equivalent ratios. I know that the total number of "parts" in a ratio is found by adding the individual terms together (e.g., 2:3 has 5 total parts). **Skills:** I can use the "for every..." sentence stem to describe the relationship between two quantities. I can use a bar model to solve problems where I am given the total quantity or the value of just one part. I can simplify ratios to their lowest terms by finding common factors. **What’s Included?** Your download includes everything you need for a successful series of lessons: **Unit Overview Notes:** Outlines the knowledge, skills, and pre-requisites for the entire unit, exploring the question 'How does the relationship between parts define the whole?' **Detailed Lesson Walkthrough/Notes:** Includes a step-by-step guide with guiding questions and key discussion points for each lesson. **Guiding Questions:** Great opportunities for AfL throughout each lesson, designed to help your students draw on their previous learning and make purposeful connections across the unit. **Lesson Slides:** Engaging slides to guide each of your lessons. **Lesson Activities:** Includes accessible, low-floor high ceiling activities for each lesson that all students can access through adaptive teaching, leading to improved confidence. There are also opportunities embedded in each lesson for further challenge to extend learners further. **Exit Tickets:** Purposeful closing tasks which allows students to demonstrate their understanding, skills and knowledge - a great opportunity for AfL.
