Exploring Ratios and Proportions: 6.RP.3 (view)

Summary

This resource combines several OER resources in a way to help build deeper understanding. Students start with exploring what they already know about ratios and proportions. Next they review (or learn for the first time, depending on background) with Khan Academy some videos on the topics. They are able to do some hands on exploring with sorting ratio cards by digging into relationships. Students can then work on a three act math problem, and dig into the entire process of writing and solving a proportion problem. They end by evaluating "student work" on the topic, explaining the steps and what went wrong in the problems. Many math classes have students with varying backgrounds and levels of understanding. These activities have multiple entry points, giving more opportunities for learning. This is designed to give students the opportunities to dig in deeply to build conceptual understanding as well as procedural fluency.
