Adapted from a WORKSHOP prepared for the Rhode Island Department of Education by Kristina Sparfven The Rigors of Ratio and Proportional Reasoning in the Common Core State Standards
AgendaExamine the progression of ratio and proportion in the middle grades.Highlight the connection between content and relevant Standards for Mathematical Practice.Explore instructional strategies and models that promote understanding of ratio and proportion.Work on activities that support ratio and proportional reasoning. Wrap-up/Questions.
How are the math practices incorporated?Reason Abstractly and Quantitatively (MP2)Contextualize and DecontextualizeConstruct Viable Arguments and Critique the Reasoning of Others (MP3)Use multiple models as solution paths, understand multiple models Model with Mathematics (MP4) Represent situations mathematically Attend to Precision (MP6) Precise use of language when describing and interpreting Looking for structure (MP7) Recognizing rates, ratios, and proportional relationships
What is a ratio?An essential understanding for today, is to internalize the concept of ratio.Turn and talk to your neighbor about what you think of when your hear the word ratio.
What is a ratio?A relationship between 2 quantities. We write ratios to decontextualize a situation. (MP2)A rate is a ratio of quantities with different units.Ratios may be written in a variety of ways which must be interpreted accurately by a student. 3 to 2 (3 feet to 2 seconds) 3 for every 2 (3 cups of flour for every 2 eggs) 3 out of every 5 (3 cups of flour out of every 5 cups of dry ingredients) 3:2
Tape DiagramsVisual modelMeasuring in the same units.This tape diagram shows the ratio of two juices in a fruit punch. What different ratios could be expressed by the tape diagram?
Tape Diagrams
Double Number LineMeasuring with different units. Each ratio pair is the same distance from 0 on their respective lines. Double number lines have a variety of uses: to find unit rates other equivalent ratios m issing value in a proportion including missing values in percent problems
Using a Double Number Line to Find a Unit Rate
Unit Rate in the Real WorldUnit rates are often expressed as a comparisons with no reference to the number one65 miles per hour$2.49 per pound In grade 7 students are able to convert a rational number to a decimal using long division (7.NS.2d) When students create ratios to find a unit rate expressed as a decimal, it is important that they fully understand the comparison they are making
Using a Double Number Line for Percent Problems
Finding a Missing Value in a ProportionWhat method would you use to solve for the value of x? Reflect on how you might teach your students to solve for the value of x . 3 X ___ = ___ 21 35

Session SummaryToday we examined…The nature of ratio and proportional reasoning and its progression through the middle grades.Strategies for solving ratio, rate, and proportional reasoning problems.Unit rate and its evolution through the grades to constant of proportionality and slope. R atio structure in tables, graphs, and equations. Integration of the mathematical practices with the content of ratio and proportional reasoning.
