RATIO RUMBLE

In class students finished up their Moby Max lessons covering ratios and unit rates. Then students practiced their skills and documented their work in their math notebooks. Students also worked on a review to show their understanding of equivalent ratios, which are just like equivalent fractions. For those who were all finished and caught up, they were able to review plotting points, (which I now know we must review this more next week.) As a reward and fun way to end our week the students played Ratio Rumble. We used the reflector app and were able to reflect the app from my iPad to the smartboard. Every student participated and we had a great time being competitive and helpful to each other.

FRACTION-DECIMAL-PERCENT SHAKER ACTIVITY

This week students have been working on converting between fractions, decimals, and percents. So to show their understanding the shakers came out. 

Groups were given a shaker with 1 six sided die and 1 twelve sided die. I did this to cut down on improper fractions. To make sure we avoided improper fractions students were instructed to flip them over if they rolled one.

The six sided die represented the numerator and the twelve sided die represented the denominator.

Students shook their shakers to create a fraction. They then recorded it on the "Shaker Sheet" I created for them.

After the fraction was written down, they had to convert it to a decimal and then to a percent.

SKITTLES RATIOS

• Every student was given a small package of skittles
• Students then sorted their skittles
• Spin the spinner to determine the first color in the ratio
• Spin the spinner again to determine the second color in the ratio
• Remember you can write it any of the 3 ways
