A comparison of 8 black circles to 4 white circles can
be written as the ratio of 8:4 and can be regrouped
into 4 black circles to 2 white circles (4:2) and 2
black circles to 1 white circle (2:1).
Students should be able to identify all these ratios
and describe them using “For every…., there are …”

The new floor in the school cafeteria is going to be constructed of square tiles
that are either gray or white and in the pattern that appears below:
Part A: What is the ratio of gray tiles to
white tiles?
Part B: What is the ratio of white tiles to
the total number of tiles in the pattern?

$12, what is the unit cost per white tile?
Answer: $____________________
Part A: 10 to 8, 5:4, or other equivalent ratio
Part B: 8 to 18, 4:9, or other equivalent ratio
Part C: $1.50 per white tile

On a bicycle you can travel 20 miles in 4 hours. What are the unit rates in this
situation, (the distance you can travel in 1 hour and the amount of time
required to travel 1 mile)?

Last summer, a family took a trip to a beach that was
about 200 miles away from their home. The graph
below shows the distance driven, in miles, and the time,
in hours, taken for the trip.

While on vacation, a group can rent bicycles and scooters by the week.
They get a reduced rental rate if they rent 5 bicycles for every 2 scooters
rented. The reduced rate per bicycle is $15.50 per week and the reduced
rate per scooter is $160 per week. The sales tax on each rental is 12%.
The group has $1600 available to spend on bicycle and scooter rentals.
What is the greatest number of bicycles and the greatest number of
scooters the group can rent if the ratio of bicycles to scooters is 5:2?

David is making his own strawberry yogurt. In David’s mixture, the
number of strawberries is proportional to the amount of milk, in
cups. David uses 4 cups of milk for every 14 strawberries in his
mixture.
Which equation represents the relationship between s, the number
of strawberries, and m, the number of cups of milk he uses?

Jill walks 3 meters every 2 seconds. Let d be the number of meters Jill has
walked after t seconds. d and t are in a proportional relationship.

•
•
The praise is based on something you really did
You earned it
•
•
I state specifically what it is you’re being praised for
“You included a diagram in every word problem!”
•
•
I really mean it
I’m not just saying it
•
•
It’s matched to you- your level
Matched to the person you are
•
Different all the time
Specific
Genuine
Appropriate
Varied
Attributed to performance and effort
The tone of the praise statement suggests that obviously the student has the ability to do
well, and that it is the effort the student exerted that made the performance turn out so well
• “You worked hard on math-facts and it paid off on the quiz.”
•
Thanks for coming!
