Day 1

Bell Work During one year Mrs. Laymon sent 484 text messages. This number was 1/3 the number of text messages her son sent during the same year. How Many text message did her son send? Draw a diagram and justify your response. If he sent the same number of messages each month, how many messages did he send in one month?

I Can…. express ratios in all forms. (ex. a:b, a to b, and )

Vocabulary • Ratio – A comparison of two quantities by division. (Example: a:b, a to b, ) • Equivalent Ratio – ratios the express the same relationship between two quantities. (Example: 10:15 is equivalent to 2:3 and 20:30) • Scaling – to multiply or divide two related quantities by the same number. (Example: x ) • Ratio Table – a table with columns filled with pairs of numbers that have the same ratio. Example:

Introducing Ratios Essential Understanding: • A ratio compares two quantities. It can compare a part to a part, part to whole, or whole to part. Examples: • Ratios can be written 3 different ways 1:2, 1 to 2, or ½ Examples: • Ratios can be written in simplest form by dividing each quantity by the greatest common factor. Example: can be reduced to ½ by dividing both qualities by 2. Examples:

I Can…. determine if two ratios are equivalent.

Equivalent Ratios Essential Understanding: • To create equivalent ratios, scale them up or down (multiply or divide each quantity by the same amount). You can use a ratio table or T Chart to organize your work. • There are many ways to determine if two ratios are equivalent. For instance, you can determine their cross products, calculate their unit rates, or scale both ratios down to simplest form. **** A word to the wise…Label, Label, Label! ****

Notes Continued…… • To determine cross products, begin by writing each ratios in fraction form. Then ,multiplying the numerator of one ratio by the denominator of the other (cross multiplication). If the cross products are equivalent then the ratios are equivalent. (This type of equation is called a proportion and can be used to solve for a missing value. To be discussed at a later time….) Example: • To calculate the unit rate of a ratio, divide the numerator by the denominator and place the quotient over a 1. Examples: • To simplify ratios, begin by writing the ratio in fraction form . Then, scale the ratio down by dividing both parts by the greatest common factor. Examples:

I Can…. create and use ratio tables to represent and solve problems involving equivalent ratios.

Ratio Tables Essential Understanding: • Ratio tables can be used to find equivalent ratios. Remember equivalent ratios express the same relationship between two quantities. Example: Ratio of eggs to servings in a recipe for cake

Day 4

Bell Work Packs of gum are on sale this week 5 for $4. If Mrs. E wanted to buy gum for the class how much would it cost to buy each student a pack? Create a ratio table to find the price for 10, 15, 20, and 25 packs. Wow! That’s a lot of money for gum, when you have 90 students! Mrs. E decides to buy every student one piece of gum instead. For a total of 90 pieces. Each pack had 5 pieces. How many packs did she buy in all?
