Preparation
Lesson Narrative
In this lesson, students work with equivalent ratios more abstractly, both in the context of recipes and by using numbers without a context. They learn and articulate that all ratios that are equivalent to
As they connect concrete quantitative experiences to abstract representations, students develop their skills in reasoning abstractly and quantitatively (MP2). They continue to use diagrams, words, or a combination of both for their explanations.
- Generate equivalent ratios and justify that they are equivalent.
- Present (in words and through other representations) a definition of "equivalent ratios," including examples and non-examples.
Let’s investigate equivalent ratios some more.
