Fcat: The Shadow Knows (Ratio, Proportion & Measurement)

Teach the basics of measurement and conversion with a five-lesson resource that builds an understanding of proportion and measurement conversion from elementary through high school. Initially, young scholars use ratios to determine soup...

Do these items have the same ratio? Through a learning contract, pupils master proportions by practicing proportions via word problems, graphs, and with manipulatives. An exit ticket checks for understanding at the end of the...

Tie the unit together and see concepts click in your young mathematicians' minds. Scholars apply the properties of similar triangles to find heights of objects. They concentrate on the proportions built with known measures and solve to...

Clarify complex math concepts with a helpful video. Learners view ways to work with ratios and proportions while discussing vocabulary and notation. After solving proportions, they apply the new strategy to word problems.

Using indirect measurement, this video shows viewers how to find the height of a flagpole. The lecturer employs drawings as well as proportions to solve this problem, explaining each step. A useful resource to aid struggling learners and...

Working on proportional ratios in your class? This video might be for you! An instructor takes a step-by-step approach to reducing and comparing two ratios in order to determine if they are proportional. A clear video, this resource...
