01 / UNDERSTAND

Here is what is happening.

A ratio compares quantities. A drawing recipe uses 2 blue dots for every 3 yellow dots. Doubling both gives 4:6, the same ratio. Adding two to both gives 4:5, a different ratio. Scaling multiplies every part by the same factor.

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

Your little investigation

What you need

Paper and a pencil, or a partner to talk with. Drawing and speaking are welcome.

  1. Draw a 2-blue, 3-yellow group; label colours with letters too.

  2. Build three such groups. Count each kind and simplify the ratio.

  3. Compare 4:6 with 4:5 using your drawings.

03 / CHECK YOUR UNDERSTANDING
