During Math 6 - 3/7°, students worked with Lesson 5.2: Generate Equivalent Ratios. Here, students learn the procedural method of generating equivalent ratios by multiplying and dividing the original terms of a ratio by the same nonzero number.


Here is a game to play for finding equivalent ratios: Math Playground - Alien Ratios
