More proportion solving

Today, we spent time working on identifying, writing and solving proportions.  Classwork reviewed the topic, but tonight, you need to complete the multiplication worksheet.

Good luck and work carefully!

Solving Proportions

Today we worked on solving proportions.  In each class, students were able to determine multiple ways of solving proportion problems.  Overall, we found that using cross multiplication was the most helpful way to complete the problems (up on a diagonal...  examples below.)

Homework examples reviewed in class:

Homework problems:  (Homework is is to complete all questions on the Solving Proportions worksheet)

Thanks and good luck with the homework!  Remember that you CAN use a calculator tonight!

Part of Proportions

After a nice weekend (that weather was perfect and I spent a lot of it walking my dog down at the beach) we are back in school and learning about proportion.  Since proportion is related to ratios and equivalent fractions, we first practiced ratios, equivalent fractions and comparing fractions.

Ratio review:

Comparing fractions:

After completing the online activity and watching the video above, we had the chance to do our "Up on a Diagonal" dance to help us determine if two ratios (fractions) make an equal proportion.

Examples from class:

Tonight's homework is to complete numbers 1-18 on your proportions worksheet.  (We won't be completing the bottom tonight, but will be working on it tomorrow, so please don't cross it off.)

A bit more Ratio!

Today we corrected last night's homework and got to play with ratios a bit more.  We were able to play a fun game in a few classes, but practiced in all of them!

We will move on to Proportions on Monday!  Have a good weekend!
