The document outlines a lesson plan for teaching 6th grade students about ratios. It includes using a video to introduce ratios, having the teacher present content on writing ratios using an app, having students complete ratio worksheets in pairs, and assigning independent practice problems using an app where students must email their results. An exit ticket asks students to define a ratio with an example. The plan accommodates students without devices by providing laptops to access the same online content and apps.

1. Tiffany Herrington
Sixth Grade Mathematics
Common
Core
Standards:
6.RP.A.1. Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a
ratio relationship between two quantities.
Essential
Questions:
How can ratios and proportional relationships be used to determine unknown
quantities?
Objectives: Students will write a ratio that describes a relationship between two quantities.
Student will explain the relationship that a ratio represents.
Anticipatory
Set:
The students will scan a QR code from an area near them in them in the room
with their ipads. The QR code will open their YouTube app to the “Math Snacks:
Bad Date” video http://youtu.be/BZ1M01YBKhk. The video introduces ratio by
comparing how much more or less one person talks in a conversation compared to
another. The students will watch the video while listening with their ear buds.
Once the students are done watching the video they will write down what they
believe a ratio is in their math notebooks.
Presentation
of Lesson
(I Do)
The teacher will share her presentation on writing proportions and explaining the
relationship that a ratio represents using an app called Nearpod. In Nearpod, the
teacher is able to manage the students’ behavior while presenting the content. The
teacher will be alerted when a student closes out of the presentation app. The
teacher can also check for understanding throughout the presentation and receive
immediate results from the students.
Guided
Practice
(We Do)
The students will work in pairs to complete a worksheet on writing rations (5
questions) and explaining the relationship that a ratio represents (5 questions).
The pairs will have two different worksheets with questions similar in content and
difficulty. The students will work #1 on their perspective papers at the same time.
After two minutes, the pair will switch papers and work problem #2. They will
complete this process in two minute intervals until both work sheets are complete.
Independent
Practice
(You Do)
Using the IXL app, the students will independently complete five practice
problems on skill AA.1 (write a ratio to describe objects in a picture). Once the
students have completed the five question activity, the students will email the
teacher their results.
Closing: The students will complete an exit ticket using their Socrative Student app. On the
app the students will reflect over the day’s lesson. They will be able to express
their honest opinions on what worked well and what didn’t work in the lesson.
The students will also respond to the following question: What is a ratio? Provide
an example of a ratio on numerical form and words. The teacher will get the
students’ responses in a spreadsheet.
Assessment: The teacher will assess students using a formatively using their results from IXl
during their independent practice.
What if a
student
doesn’t
The teacher will provide laptop computers for students who do not have their
devices. All of the apps have corresponding web addresses that the students can
access and do the same exact work as students with a device.
