Description
These six tasks on ratios and proportions are open-ended allowing students to use whichever methods that are in their toolboxes. Some strategies to highlight: reasoning multiplicatively, double number line, tape diagram, ratio tables, unit rate, solving proportions (equations), cross multiplying. Ratios and proportional reasoning are huge in 6th and 7th grade, respectively, and establish the foundation for advanced reasoning in higher grades. The common misconception students make is thinking additively in situations that require multiplicitave reasoning. Use these tasks to help advance your students' proportional reasoning!
The tasks build on each other and increase in complexity i.e. with mixed numbers towards the end.
For a free Desmos activity, not created by me but that you may find fun and useful, here is a link: https://teacher.desmos.com/tilepile It is called Tile Pile and connects to my proportional reasoning product.
Consider using Pair Deck so that your students can engage in the problem solving while you facilitate and monitor in real-time.
Teacher notes are provided.
