Ratios and Proportions 

 

 

The concepts covered will be writing ratios and ratio tables; rates and unit rates, identifying proportional relationships;  writing and solving proportions; graphs of proportional relationships; and scale drawings. We use a variety of materials and manipulatives in class that allow students to gain a better understanding of the concepts presented. With a hands-on approach and relating math concepts to daily life makes for a positive and successful learning experience.
