Introduction: | Using a PowerPoint students are focused into math with a quick check of simplifying fractions. Then PowerPoint reviews ratios, equivalent ratios with examples. Students take notes and work example in their math notebook. Then rate unit is introduced in the PowerPoint. Students again take notes and work examples. There is a quick check at the end of the PowerPoint that the student do. When they complete that the groups discuss the problems and how they solved them. |
