Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Make Tables Of Equivalent Ratios. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

Ratios are expressed as “for each” and “per”

Ratios can be represented as words (5 to 3, 5 for every 3, 5 out of every 3 and 5 parts to 3 parts).

Ratios happen when there are two or more quantities related.

Create Ratio tables to show relationship over many values (Where Joe walks 5 feet every 2 seconds and x is number of feet and y is seconds how far did he walk in 20, 30 or 10 seconds).

Find missing value in a ratio table (using the proportional relationship to determine missing value).

When finding equivalent ratios you must multiply or divide both terms by the same number (4 feet for every 6 seconds or 4 to 6 can be multiplied by 2 to yield an equivalent ratio so 8 to 12).

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What does a proportional relationship look like? What does it mean if there is a proportional relationship? How do I find an equivalent fraction for 1/2, 2/5, 7/3, etc? What are some ways we can find patterns or relationships between many sets of ratios?

After the Game

How can you find missing values in a ratio table? How can you check to see if two ratios are equivalent? What did you learn about solving problems with missing numbers?
