By building on the understanding of these relationships, this lesson demonstrates how these concepts can be used mathematically and connected to real-world situations. GED Testing Service ® has identified this assessment target as a high impact indicator that describes some of the critical thinking skills students need to be successful in college, career training, and the workforce.  \nProcess  \nIntroduce the lesson by asking the following questions and discussing as a class:  \n􀁸 How are fractions, ratios, and proportions related?  \n􀁸 Where do you see ratios and proportions in the real world?  \nWrite the following words/terms on the board:  \n􀁸 Ratio  \n􀁸 Proportion  \n􀁸 Reducing a fraction  \n􀁸 Solving equations by cross multiplying  \nReview vocabulary definitions on Handout \\#1 and briefly discuss the relationship between fractions and ratios. Ask students to create a ratio using an example from their own life and share with class, i.e. John has 6 pairs of sneakers in his closet, 2 white pairs, 1 red pair, and 3 black pairs. What is the ratio of white sneakers to black ones? What is the ratio of black sneakers to total sneakers? Discuss proportion and demonstrate the cross multiplying process to solve for x.  \nPass out Handout \\#2 and briefly discuss each example of ratios and proportions in the real world. Have students examine the newspaper (the sports pages are a great section to use for this activity) for opportunities to express numbers in ratio or proportional form. Ask students for examples of when they might use a proportion when they are shopping, cooking, or performing","cbCailYa1gxKUmes","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailYa1gxKUmes","pdf",1098160,15,"English","# Objectives of the Lesson\n# Materials\n# Instructional Plan\n## Overview\n## Process\n## Ratios and Rates Activities\n## Proportions and Cross-Multiplying Practice\n## Handout-Based Practice and Real-World Examples","[{\"question\":\"What do students review and practice in this lesson about ratios and proportions?\",\"answer\":\"Students review vocabulary and discuss real-world applications, express ratios and rates as fractions, and practice solving using ratio and proportional concepts.
