Students discover proportions of the Human Body.  In this anatomy lesson, students create replicas of the Human body using nothing but paper and glue.  Students share their creations with the entire class.

In this ratio and proportion worksheet, students explore example problems. Afterwards, they read story problems and use ratios and proportions to find the solution. This three-page worksheet contains six multi-step problems,

In this dimension activity, students determine the amount of material needed to construct three-dimensional figures. They find the dimensions of areas inscribed in given diagrams, determine the amount of profit, and the maximum flow of...

Students explore the surface area to volume ratio in cellular respiration. While participating in an interactive lab experiment, they examine proportional surface area and discuss nanotechnology. Students observe the effectiveness of...

Pupils explore proportions which are typical of the human body. Given a list of classic proportions from earlier centuries, students work in pairs to test the validity of the proportions. Pupils share their personal measurements. They...

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 scrutinize the early twentieth-century artists who dealt with expressionism and abstraction, especially Marc Chagall. This four lesson unit examines the life and work of Chagall and supports the student creation of works similar...

Seventh graders explore the concept of percent problems. In this percent problem lesson, 7th graders use proportion equations to solve percent problems. Students find percentages of numbers and use proportions to determine percents in...

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...

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...

Eighth graders follow a recipe, focusing on the concepts of ratio and proportion, to mix a batch of icing. They decorate cupcakes in the form of a pumpkin.

In this video segment from Cyberchase, Harry uses fractions to pack boxes of truffles at a candy store.

The interactive assessment examines ratios, proportions, and percents. Students complete 14 questions created by Glencoe. Hints and solutions are included.

A learning module through which students learn about equations including the following: Translating words into equations and equations into words, The Properties of Equality to help solving equations, Techniques for solving simple...

Through this lesson, students will learn how to use ratios to create a scale drawing of their classroom's floor plan. It provides adaptations, discussion questions, assessment rubric, and suggested readings to help develop students'...
