Ratio Introduction

We began working on Ratios today!  We talked about the three ways to write a ration, as a fraction, with the word "to" and with a colon ":".  We also talked about how ratios can be "Whole to Part," "Part to Part" or "Part to Whole."

Notes from class:

Examples of ratios from class:

Brown eyes to blue eyes

Chocolate to vanilla

Morning person to night person

Tonight's homework is to complete both sides of the "Types of Ratios Homework"  You will need to write each ratio in the three styles and then determine what is being compared (parts and wholes).

Good luck!  Remember that you should check out magazines, the news, homepages online, and ads to help you find ratios!
