Day 1

Bell WorkDuring one year Mrs. Laymon sent 484 text messages.

This number was 1/3 the number of text messages her

son sent during the same year. How Many text

message did her son send?

Draw a diagram and justify your response.

If he sent the same number of messages each month, how many messages did he send in one month?

express ratios in all forms.

(ex. a:b, a to b, and )

Vocabulary• Ratio – A comparison of two quantities by division.

(Example: a:b, a to b, )

• Equivalent Ratio – ratios the express the same relationship between two quantities.

(Example: 10:15 is equivalent to 2:3 and 20:30)

• Scaling – to multiply or divide two related quantities by the same number. (Example: x )

• Ratio Table – a table with columns filled with pairs of numbers that have the same ratio.

Example:

Nails Used 5 10 15

Shelves Hung 1 2 3

Introducing Ratios

Essential Understanding: • A ratio compares two quantities. It can compare a part

to a part, part to whole, or whole to part. • Ratios can be written 3 different ways 1:2, 1 to 2, or

½ • Ratios can be written in simplest form by dividing

each quantity by the greatest common factor. Example: can be reduced to ½ by dividing both qualities by 2.

I Can….

determine if two ratios are

equivalent.

Equivalent RatiosEssential Understanding: • To create equivalent ratios, multiply or divide

each quantity by the same number.

• To determine if two ratios are equivalent, first write the ratios in fraction form. Then find their cross products by multiplying the numerator of one ratio by the denominator of the other product. If the cross products are equivalent then the ratios are equivalent.

I Can….

create and use ratio tables to represent and

solve problems involving equivalent

ratios.

Ratio TablesEssential Understanding:• Ratio tables can be used to find equivalent

ratios. Remember equivalent ratios express the same

relationship between two quantities.

Example: Ratio of eggs to servings in a recipe for cake

Servings 8 16 24 32 40 48 56

Eggs 2 4 6 8 10 12 14
