Ratios and Proportional Relationships

STRAND	CPI	SKILLS	RESOURCES
Ratios and Proportional Relationships	The goal -     Students will connect ratio and rate to whole number multiplication and division and use concepts of ratio and rate to solve problems.	More specifically, students use reasoning about multiplication and division to solve ratio and rate problems about quantities. By viewing equivalent ratios and rates as deriving from, and extending, pairs of rows (or columns) in the multiplication table, and by analyzing simple drawings that indicate the relative size of quantities, students connect their understanding of multiplication and division with ratios and rates. Thus students expand the scope of problems for which they can use multiplication and division to solve problems, and they connect ratios and fractions. Students solve a wide variety of problems involving ratios and rates.	Dirt Bike Proportions Ratio Blaster Ratio Stadium Math 6 Spy Guys
Understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve problems.
·	1. Compute unit rates associated with ratios of fractions, including ratios of lengths, areas and other quantities measured in like or different units.	For example, If a person walks 1/2 mile in each 1/4 hour, compute the unit rate as the complex fraction 1/2/1/4 miles per hour, equivalently 2 miles per hour.

	·    2.Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities.	For example, Decide whether two quantities are in a proportional relationship, e.g., by testing for equivalent ratios in a table or graphing on a coordinate plane and observing whether the graph is a straight line through the origin.

		Identify the constant of proportionality (unit rate) in tables, graphs, equations, diagrams, and verbal descriptions of proportional relationships.	Rhythm Wheels Ratio and Proportion Ratio Tables and Proportions Ratio Tables and Proportions Video Unit Rate Problems
		Represent proportional relationships by equations.  For example, if total cost t is proportional to the number n of items purchased at a constant price p, the relationship between the total cost and the number of items can be expressed as t = pn.	Proportional Relationships Proportion Word Problems Linear Equation
		Explain what a point (x, y) on the graph of a proportional relationship means in terms of the situation, with special attention to the points (0, 0) and (1, r) where r is the unit rate.	Understanding Slope Slope as a Unit Rate Interpret Slope
	3. Use proportional relationships to solve multistep ratio and percent problems. Examples: simple interest, tax, markups and markdowns, gratuities and commissions, fees, percent increase and decrease, percent error.

Understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve problems.
·	1. Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities.	For example, “The ratio of wings to beaks in the bird house at the zoo was 2:1, because for every 2 wings there was 1 beak.”  “For every vote candidate A received, candidate C received nearly three votes.”	Ratios Ratio and Proportion Matching Equivalent Ratios Ratios and Proportions Introduction
	·         2. Understand the concept of a unit rate a/b associated with a ratio a:b with b ≠ 0, and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship.	For example, “This recipe has a ratio of 3 cups of flour to 4 cups of sugar, so there is 3/4 cup of flour for each cup of sugar.”  “We paid $75 for 15 hamburgers, which is a rate of $5 per hamburger.”1	Ratios, Rates, Percents, and Proportion Rate Tutorial Unit Rate Practice
	3. Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations.	Make tables of equivalent ratios relating quantities with whole-number measurements, find missing values in the tables, and plot the pairs of values on the coordinate plane. Use tables to compare ratios.	Rhythm Wheels Ratio Tables and Proportions Ratio Tables and Proportions Video Proportion Workout Determine the Ratio
		Solve unit rate problems including those involving unit pricing and constant speed.  For example, if it took 7 hours to mow 4 lawns, then at that rate, how many lawns could be mowed in 35 hours? At what rate were lawns being mowed?	Proportion Mini-lesson Ratio and Proportion Videos Rate Demos Practice  More Practice Ratio Workout
		Find a percent of a quantity as a rate per 100 (e.g., 30% of a quantity means 30/100 times the quantity); solve problems involving finding the whole, given a part and the percent.

		Use ratio reasoning to convert measurement units; manipulate and transform units appropriately when multiplying or dividing quantities.	Scale Measures Converter Dirt Bike Proportions Ratio Blaster Ratio Stadium Math 6 Spy Guys
