Day 67: Ratio Gizmo Continued / Dependent and Independent Variables / Ratio Gizmo

Today in Math 6: 1 & 3°, students continued their work from last Tuesday's Gizmo: Part-to-part and Part-to-whole.

During Math 6 - 2°, students began Topic Five: Algebra - Patterns and Equations.  In Lesson 5.1: Dependent and Independent Variables, students analyze real-world situations and identify the independent and dependent variables.  This knowledge applies to writing equations.  

 

Students in Math 6+ reviewed their answers from the most recent Challenge Day.  Mr. Giomini then introduced Concept Four: Rates, Ratios, and Proportions.  The Gizmo: Part-to-part and Part-to-whole was used to allow students hands-on experience with ratios.

Today's Learning Target(s): The student will be able to...

1. understand the concept of a ratio. (1, 3, and 7°)   
2. use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities. (1,3, and 7°)    
3.  analyze the relationship between dependent and independent variables. (2°)  
4. fluently add, subtract, multiply, and divide numbers using the standard algorithm for each operation. (all classes)

For Evening Practice, the student is expected to complete:

1. Math 6(1&3°): Complete remainder of Gizmo 
2. Math 6(2°): Dependent and Independent Variables: Quick Check
3. Math 6+: Complete remainder of Gizmo
4. All Classes: m > 10 minutes meaningful practice at Khan Academy
