Describe the relationship between two factors in a ratio context

You can describe the relationship between two factors in a ratio context.

Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. The language "For every __ __ there are __ __ " can be used to describe ratio.
  2. Objects and diagrams can be used to represent ratio relationships.

Common misconception

Using addition and subtraction to connect the parts and whole in a ratio context.

Model all relationships at this stage using the language and notation of multiplication and division.

Keywords

  • Ratio - A ratio shows the relative sizes of 2 or more values and allows you to compare a part with another part in a whole

  • For every - For every allows you to talk about the relative sizes of the values e.g. for every 2 squares there is 1 triangle

Have counters or cubes in two different colours or shapes for pupils to use to create patterns. Stress the use of the language "for every" to identify the parts but also make sure that the whole set is identified in each context.
