Lesson Plan

Grade Level: 7th Grade

Subject: Mathematics

Unit: Ratios and Proportions

Lesson Title: Introduction to Ratios and Proportions

Learning Objectives:

• Students will be able to define ratios and proportions.
• Students will be able to identify and write ratios in different forms.
• Students will be able to determine whether two ratios are equivalent.
• Students will be able to solve proportions.

Materials:

• Whiteboard or projector
• Markers
• Handouts on ratios and proportions
• Calculators (optional)

Procedure:

1. Introduction (10 minutes)

   • Begin by reviewing the concept of equivalent fractions.
   • Ask students to give examples of equivalent fractions.
   • Introduce the concept of ratios, explaining that ratios are like fractions but can compare any two quantities, not just parts of a whole.

2. Writing Ratios (15 minutes)

   • Write a ratio on the board, such as 3:4.
   • Explain that the first number in the ratio is called the antecedent and the second number is called the consequent.
   • Ask students to write a few of their own ratios.
   • Discuss different ways to write ratios, such as using a colon, a slash, or the phrase "to one."

3. Equivalent Ratios (15 minutes)

   • Explain that two ratios are equivalent if they have the same proportion.
   • Write two equivalent ratios on the board, such as 2:3 and 4:6.
   • Show students how to check if two ratios are equivalent by multiplying or dividing both numbers in each ratio by the same amount.
   • Have students practice identifying equivalent ratios.

4. Solving Proportions (20 minutes)

   • Introduce the concept of proportions, which are equations that state that two ratios are equivalent.
   • Write a proportion on the board, such as 2/3 = 4/6.
   • Explain that there are several ways to solve proportions.
   • Show students how to use cross multiplication to solve proportions.
   • Have students practice solving proportions.

5. Conclusion (5 minutes)

   • Review the main concepts of the lesson.
   • Assign homework on ratios and proportions.
