Real World, Real Numbers: Ratio and Proportions

Stages

1. Building Understanding of Ratios

EXPLORE

Suggested Learning Intentions

  • To recognise the relationships between quantities or measures in ratios

Sample Success Criteria

  • I can model a ratio using diagrams, objects and other manipulatives
  • I can describe ratios as a comparison between quantities
  • I can increase or decrease quantities while keeping the ratio constant
  • I can identify equivalent ratios
EXPLORE

2. Finding the Unknown in Ratios

EXPLORE

Suggested Learning Intentions

  • To build fluency in applying our understanding of ratios to solve problems

Sample Success Criteria

  • I can calculate the quantity for each part of a ratio
  • I can calculate the unknown value of a ratio
  • I can demonstrate my thinking and justify my solutions using a range of manipulatives
EXPLORE

3. Comparing Ratios

EXPLORE

Suggested Learning Intentions

  • To apply our knowledge of equivalence to compare ratios

Sample Success Criteria

  • I can simplify and compare ratios
  • I can identify if two ratios have the same value
  • I can describe the effects of adding parts of a ratio
  • I can model and demonstrate my thinking using a range of manipulatives
EXPLORE

4. Finding the Better Deal

EXPLORE

Suggested Learning Intentions

  • To evaluate different rates and prove that one is better than the other

Sample Success Criteria

  • I can identify ratios as quotients and rates
  • I can find the best deal
