"Math Review Questions, Word Problems, and Finding Ratios" is a worksheet that focuses on ratio word problems with other relevant skills mixed in.
Some of the ratio questions include:
* Circling equivalent ratios.
* Writing equivalent ratios from a list of given numbers.
* Ratio word problems with real-life situations.
* Writing a ratio of numbers that are divisible by a certain number.
Other relevant skills are mixed in with questions about ratios. For example, a question about the number of gummies in a pack asks students to determine how many gummies are in multiple packs. Another question asks students to express fractions in simplest form, and another has students multiply fractions in a word problem.
Different skills are located within a rectangular boundary with four rectangles on each page. Each one contains one or more questions, depending on the skill. For example, a word problem might be the only question in the rectangle. Writing fractions in simplest form might have four different fractions for students to rewrite in the same rectangle. Extra space is provided for questions where students need to write out their thinking.
Learning ratios helps students build connections between other math topics like fractions, percents, and proportions, which can help them tackle more difficult math problems in the future with confidence.
Having students tackle ratios in different ways helps them approach problems from different angles. For example, you might have students circle ratios that are equivalent and have them write an equivalent ratio for one that's given.
Word problems can be a powerful way for students to see how ratios pop up in real life, as can real-world situations with ratios, like converting one measurement to another.
Keep things interesting by mixing in other problems that are relevant to ratios. For example, students can write equivalent fractions or write how many meters are in different kilometer measurements, which helps them experience ratios in other contexts.
