CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING

Today to get class started I gave the students all a 1/2 sheet of paper with about 7 questions. The first 4 questions were asking the students to create and simply ratios. The last 3 questions were reviewing rates and unit rates. The picture below is the original and the key. Students struggled to remember how to find the unit rate a bit. Just remember that a unit rate is always a number compared to 1, like 5 to 1.

REVIEW TIME WITH RATES?

It has come to my attention that many of my students have claimed that they do not remember how to divide decimals. So with that being said I have gone and planned for decimals to be included in our activities and lessons as much as possible in order for us to review. With that said, many students realized really quickly that they did remember, but that has not caused me to change any plans.

Todays Do Now was "Mary bought 6 donuts for $2.10, what is the cost of each donut."

Afterwards we did a few demial division problems together and then I assigned a few to be done at their seats for a grade, below you will see the problem key. Please feel free to practice these and check your answers and work to see if you still got it!

RATIOS RATIOS RATIOS

Took a quiz and we realized that we weren't quite ready to move on. So after the quiz everyone worked on the worksheet that was assigned on Tuesday.

**Please remember that a ratio is a comparison of 2 quantities**
**It is VERY important that you read the questions carefully**

DO YOU REMEMBER?

It was a crazy day yesterday so I'm making sure everyone remembers what a ratio is. As they walk into the classroom they are getting a worksheet. This is counting as the DoNow and they will get some bonus points for correctness on the sheet.

Afterwards we did an activity with Fruit Loops to make sure we know how to compare and write a ratio.
