Day 71: Proportions / Independent and Dependent Events / Math Scholastic Magazine

Today in Math 6: 1 & 3°, students continued their work with ratios by working more with proportions. Mr. Giomini modeled how to set-up proportions from real-world scenarios to find missing information.  Students then worked in pairs to complete additional practice problems.  

During Math 6 - 2°, students completed a Socrative Space Race dealing with independent and dependent variables.

Students in Math 6+ completed a Socrative dealing with minke whales and proportions to help solidify their understanding of writing and solving proportions from given information.
  

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. use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems. (7°)   
4. analyze the relationship between dependent and independent variables. (2°)  
5. fluently add, subtract, multiply, and divide numbers using the standard algorithm for each operation. (all classes)
