01 / UNDERSTAND

Here is what is happening.

A ratio compares quantities in a stated order. If a paper recipe uses 2 cups of juice to 3 cups of water, the ratio is 2:3. Multiplying both by the same factor keeps that ratio.

Pause. Make the idea your own.

Explain one idea to a partner, draw it or write it in your own words. Which part is an observation, an example or a question?

You can use a home language. No need to share personal experiences or finish everything in one sitting.
02 / MAKE IT YOUR OWN
