Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations.
 
  • Fraction Conversion 2 (with percents)
    When completing this lesson students will understand how to convert fractions, decimals, and percentages.
  • Grid and Percent It
    This lesson plans provides a 10 x 10 model so that students can understand how to solve percent problems.

  • Modeling Linear Relationships
    Students compare arm span and height in people to learn about proportion. They also use a scatter plot graph to analyze their data.
  • Pie Chart
    Students enter values in this applet and create pie charts in which they can vary the number or size of sections and display as fractions or percentages.
  • Proportional Reasoning
    In this lesson students explore proportions by examining proportional relationships, absolute and relative comparisons, and looking at graphs to learn about these relationships.
  • Ratio Word Problems
    Students view videos explaining how to solve word problems dealing with ratios and then get a chance to solve them on their own.
  • Ratios and Proportions
    This is an interactive slideshow that explains ratios and proportions and provides examples and sample problems that the student can work through.
