Eighth graders solve problems using proportions with scaled drawings. They work with maps and blue-prints discussing scales and plans and examine different polygons and figure out the scale factors or proportions they have been changed by.

Fifth graders explore the importance of triangles in the real world. They find the unknown side of a right triangle using a scale drawing. Students use Pythagoras' Theorem and other appropriate ratios.

Students understand that a spreadsheet can be used to find the best scale to use in a model. They place the distances of the planets of the solar system to the Sun in one column of the spreadsheet. Students try different scales so that...

Learners calculate the height of a tree or flagpole. They measure the shadow of the tree or flagpole and the length of a shadow of a meterstick. Using similar triangles, calculate the heigh. Devise two additional ways in which to measure...

Students work in cooperative groups to find the actual measurements of an historical building/landmark. Then they use ratio and proportion to figure the measurements that might be used to create a scale model of the structure.

Students collect real data through listening, counting and timing jazz pieces.They use ratios, rates, and proportions to report collected data and demonstrate an understanding of the concepts of rhythm and tempo in music.

Students investigate the use of multiplication and division of whole numbers to solve problems including equivalent ratios and rates.

Sixth graders explore a relevant application of ratios and proportions. They apply this concept through guided practice and interactive feedback.

Students listen to the book, "Oobleck," by Dr. Suess before experimenting with mystery powders. They determine the proper ratio of powder to liquid to make the Oobleck.

In this Geometry instructional (work)sheet, students are instructed on how to find the geometric mean.  Students are then shown how the geometric mean is applied to proving similar triangles.

Students explore the relationships between similar figures. In this relationships between similar figures lesson plan, students discuss relationships between perimeter, circumference, area, surface area, and volume of similar figures...

In this similar figures worksheet, 6th graders solve and complete 6 different word problems. First, they use the information provided to determine the width of an actual car. Then, students use the enlarged photo to determine how tall...

In this similar figures worksheet, students solve and complete 4 different problems. First, they write a proportion and substitute. Then, students find the cross products and simplify. Finally, they divide each side to find the value in...

In this similar and congruent polygons learning exercise, students learn to solve problems using similar and congruent polygons. Students solve six problems.

In this proportions and similar polygons activity, students solve the problems that use proportions, rations, fractions, and similar polygons.

To practice multiplying fractions and mixed numbers, students choose a starting whole number and multiply it by a mixed number. Students then answer a number of questions about ratios for different problems. This worksheet is intended...

Students explore ratios and their relationships to fractions. They explain the process of identifying ratios and describe their comparison. Students write ratios as fractions and by using colons. They convert the ratios to percents.

Students, through lecture and guided practice, discover the properties of similar triangles. They use given measurements of one triangle to find a missing measurement of a similar triangle. They apply this knowledge in real-life...

Eighth graders identify that a ratio is a comparison of two numbers and that a proportion is an equation that equates two ratios. They identify the extremes and means of proportions, as well as the product of the extremes equals the...

Eighth graders examine probability. Students read real life situations involving math. Upon completing probability problems, they express their answer as a fraction, decimal or percent.

Ninth graders investigate the concepts of ratio and proportion.They solve examples with the teacher for ratios and proportions. A basic fraction review is used for a warm up in this lesson. The primary focus of the lesson appears to be...

Fifth graders explore ratio problems. They study how to solve ratio problems using simple algebraic equations. Students use equations to represent practical situations and solve equations.

Students analyze and integrate mathematical concepts within the context of social studies. They gather, present and analyze information on a bar graph, pie chart, etc. Students compute ratios. They demonstrate that ratios have real-world...
