Here is a presentation and virtual bingo board (unique board for each student who uses the link) in which students can practice solving proportions by cross multiplying. Each time students answer correctly, have them mark off a random number 1-24 on their virtual bingo boards on their personal devices (I either use a wheel, choose randomly, or have popsicle sticks I use throughout the year with numbers 1-24 written on them). **There are some decimal and repeating decimal answers, but you can edi

Students will work independently on problems you put on the board using the provided presentation.

You will present the slideshow to students while they work on their paper or whiteboard and have the bingo board open on their personal device. Each students gets their own unique bingo board (using the link that you should post for them to have access to). There are 25 different questions to be answered.
