Lesson 8

Student Outcomes
-understand the value of a ratio A:B is A/B
-understand that if two ratios are equivalent they have the same value
-use values of ratios to determine if two ratios are equivalent


Tuesday October 1, 2013

Lesson 9

Student Outcomes
- understand that a ratio table is a table of equivalent ratios
-a ratio is used to describe the relationship between two quantities.

In class, we worked a lot with ratio tables. As a class, we found patterns within the tables that made it easier to fill in the missing numbers of the tables.

Lesson 10

Student Outcomes
- identify both the additive and multiplicative structure of a ratio table
-use ratio tables to solve problems pertaining to the table.

In the beginning of class, we talked a lot about ratio tables and how we find patterns. The students were introduced to the vocabulary additive and multiplicative patterns which simply means to find patterns were there is repeated addition and/or multiplication patterns. The students worked in groups to create a poster that displayed a ratio table comparing quarts of blueberries to quarts of strawberries. They were very excited to present to the class at the end. Everyone did an excellent job!

Today the students will be attending Peter Pan, a play at Massena High school. The bus will depart at 10:15 am and will arrive back to school at approximately 1:30 pm.

Friday October 4, 2013

Lesson 11

Student Outcomes
- solve problems by comparing different ratios using two or more ratio tables.

This lesson will be a continuation of using ratio tables, as we have done in Lesson 10, but adding more than two ratio tables at a time to solve problems. We will continue to look for patterns to help fill in missing components of the tables to answer questions.

Today the students only had half of a day, so each class was approximately 20 minutes long. There were two math classes today and due to time constraints, we worked on Lesson 5 homework that the students were supposed to have completed for today.
The lesson homework focused on using tape diagrams to work through word problems.


Thursday September 26, 2013
Lesson 6

Student Outcomes
-use tape diagrams
-solve problems given a ratio between two quantities

Objectives
Students will use tape diagrams to solve word problems.
Students will be able to extract the ratio from a word problem

Students will interpret word problems to find the important information

Friday September 27, 2013
Lesson 7

Student Outcomes
-understand the relationship between ratios and fractions
-describe the fraction A/B associated with the ratio A:B

Objectives
-Students will be able to determine the difference between ratios and fractions.
-Students will be able to form different ratios from the numbers A and B, such as B:A, A:(A+B)
