This document outlines a unit on ratios for 6th grade students. It includes unit objectives, standards, and an overview of the first lesson. Students will learn to compare quantities using ratios, express ratios in simplest form, relate ratios to fractions and proportions, and solve word problems involving ratios. The first lesson focuses on defining ratios, writing ratios to describe quantities, and relating ratios to fractions. Students will take notes, practice problems on websites, and give the definition of a ratio on an exit slip.
I make a copy for each student so they can track their progress with each learning goal. I can keep track too.

Assignment 3: Persuasive Paper Part 1: A Problem Exists
Peer reviews should provide feedback to a peer on the criteria expected in the paper. Follow these
instructions:
1) Receive a classmate’s paper from your professor (in class if on-ground; by e-mail if online).
2) Copy the Peer Review Feedback Form from the Appendix.
3) Comment on all criteria, noting strengths and / or areas for improvement on the feedback form.
Provide completed Peer Review Feedback Form and classmate’s paper to your professor. Note:
On-ground students should submit the feedback form and paper to the professor during the class
meeting in which the paper is reviewed; online students should submit the feedback form and paper
to the professor via the Assignment Tab in the course shell.
Criteria Comments
+ Strengths < Areas for Improvement
1 Provide an appropriate title and an
interesting opening paragraph to
appeal to your stated audience (appeal
with logic, ethics, or emotion).
2 Include a defensible, relevant thesis
statement in the first paragraph. (With
revised thesis statement.)
3 Describe the history and status of the
issue and provide an overview of the
problem(s) that need to be addressed.
This should be one or two (1-2)
paragraphs.
4 Explain the first problem (economic,
social, political, environmental,
complexity, inequity, ethical/moral,
etc.) and provide support for your
claims. This should be one or two (1-
2)paragraphs.
5 Explain the second problem
(economic, social, political,
environmental, complexity, inequity,
ethical/moral, etc.). and provide
support for your claims. This should be
one or two (1-2) paragraphs.
6 Explain the third problem (economic,
social, political, environmental,
complexity, inequity, ethical/moral,
etc.) and provide support for your
claims. This should be one or two (1-2)
paragraphs.

1. Unit 3 - Ratios
Unit Objectives
Students will be able to:
● Compare quantities using ratios.
● Express a ratio in its simplest form.
● Relate ratios to units.
● Relate ratios to a fraction of a quantity.
● Relate proportion to ratios and fractions.
● Solve word problems involving ratios and proportion.
● Solve multi-step word problems involving changing ratios in before and after situations.
Unit Standards
M6.A.1.1: Express numbers in equivalent forms.
M6.A.1.2: Compare quantities and/or magnitudes of numbers.
Session 1: Ratio and Fraction
Lesson Objectives
Students will be able to:
● Compare quantities using ratios.
● Express a ratio in its simplest form.
● Relate ratios to units.
Materials:
Butterfly magnets (ask students to contribute their magnets for the activity too)
Technology:

Anticipatory Set
Talk about the video they were required to watch about Ratios (Khan Academy)
Ratio of horses to Dogs example
Compare the different quantities using the butterfly magnets on the board.
Write a ratio.
THINK PAIR SHARE: What is a ratio?
As a class, come up with a formal definition for a ratio and the conditions for a ratio.
Procedure:
Note-taking: Students start a new section in their notes.
Label it Unit 3 - Ratios and Fractions
2.
3. Stress that a ratio can be expressed as a fraction
Go onto IXL and practice problems involving writing a ratio between two quantities.
Notes:
Ratios can be written as a fraction.
We like to write fractions in simplest or reduced form. We also like to write ratios in simplest form.
However, ratios never have decimals or fractions in the quantities.
2. Textbook p. 21-23.
2.1. Ratio and Fractions
2.2. Read through the word problems and write a ratio in simplest form.
Stress that we are not using the operations addition and subtraction when dealing with ratios and
fractions.
Stress we deal with the operations multiplication and division when dealing with ratios and fractions.
Stress the phrase “of the .. of”
Underline the phrase “of the..of”
Determine which number is the numerator and the denominator.
Determine which number is the part and which is the whole.
A ratio is a comparison between two quantities.
A ratio can be a comparison between a quantity of a whole.
Show three ways to express a ratio:
a fraction = ½
a ratio = 1:2
written out =1 to 2
Homework Exercise 8 pp 22-23
RATIO STRATEGIES:
Students write down in their notes:
Stay organized - label each part of the ratio:
For example, dogs to cats to total pets = D:C:P
Since ratios involve equal groups, the operations used are multiplication and division.
Using unit bars with ratios…
Since ratios can be written as fractions, which also compare 2 quantities, simplify them! FInd the GCF/GCD.
Exit Slip:
Give the definition in your own words for a ratio…
Give three different ways to express a ratio using the numbers 1 and 2
