Description
This is a complete lesson for learning how to solve proportion problems. Proportion problems involve the relationship between two ratios. If the ratios are equal, then a proportion exists. Here is an example of a proportion problem:
14/49=X/140
Students will solve this problem by cross-multiplying. They multiply the numerator of the first ratio times the denominator of the second, and the denominator of the first times to the numerator of the second, to get this equation: 49X = 1960. They can then solve this easily by dividing both sides by 49. X = 40.
It includes a set of Guided Notes for understanding how to solve these types of problems, two online check-ins using Google Forms, and a worksheet. The worksheet can be used for in-class practice or for homework.
I recommend using the Guided Notes first to introduce proportion problems. The students can then use Check Ins 1 and 2 and the worksheet to practice solving these problems. Check in 2 uses only word problems. For the Guided Notes, the students will use copies without the terms filled in, and you can teach using the Answers/Completed Work document.
All resources except the Check Ins can be used either as printouts or online through Google Classroom. The Check Ins are only online.
