Summary:

n this engaging lesson on ratios and proportions, students will embark on a “Ratio Scavenger Hunt” to discover ratios in everyday objects within the classroom and school. Through hands-on activities with manipulatives, visual representations like diagrams and pictures, and real-world examples, students will develop a concrete understanding of ratios and their various forms. They will learn to express ratios using colons, fractions, and words, and explore the concept of equivalent ratios.

A video clip will provide additional visual and auditory reinforcement of the concept. Students will then collaborate in a “Ratio Challenge” activity, applying their knowledge to solve real-world problems. Finally, they will have the opportunity to express their understanding creatively by creating posters, scenarios, or games that demonstrate their mastery of ratios. This multifaceted approach caters to diverse learning styles and ensures that all students are actively engaged and empowered to succeed in their understanding of ratios.
