1. Using Tape Diagrams with Part-Whole Ratio Problems

2. Lesson Target
Content Objective: SWBAT solve part-whole ratio problems by using a tape diagram.
Learning Target: SWBAT identify the ratio in a word problem and translate the words into a tape diagram.

3. Warm Up Crystal and her brother Marcus have some cookies.
OBJECTIVE: SWBAT solve part-whole ratio problems by using a tape diagram. Language Objective: SWBAT identify the ratio in a word problem and translate the words into a tape diagram.
Crystal and her brother Marcus have some cookies.
I have 9 cookies.
1. If there are 5 chocolate chips in each cookie, how many chips are in all the cookies?
But I have 6.
9 x x 5 = 75 chips
2. What part of a dozen cookies does Crystal have?

Practice intended to point students toward thinking multiplicatively.
Can be completed in their notebooks.

5. Launch – Think, Pair, Share
Righty – Tell Lefty the ratio of red to total in Abby’s orange paint.
Partner Share
Lefty – Tell Righty the ratio of yellow to total in Zack’s orange paint.
Abby’s orange paint is made by mixing 1 cup of red for every 3 cups of yellow.
Zack’s orange paint is made by mixing 3 cups of red for every 5 cups of yellow.
(Time on this slide – 3 min) Time passed 8 min
In-Class Notes
This Think, Pair, Share makes use of the language Lefty and Righty to designate each of the two students in a pre-arranged pairing. This will be used in future lessons. If you haven’t already designate which of each two students is Lefty and who is Righty.

6. Explore – Predict
They will need a gallon of orange paint for the project.
Hint: A gallon is 16 cups.
1. How can Abby make enough of her orange paint for the project?
2. How can Zack make enough of his orange paint for the project?
Write down in your notes any ideas you have about how to answer these questions.
(Time on this slide - 2 min) Time passed 10 min
In-Class Notes
Students are NOT meant to solve this problem before the lesson. This slide is a preview of the overarching question that gives students a clear need for the Tape Diagrams tool.
The teacher may want to point out or highlight from any student questions that:
Abby’s original ratio results in a total of 4 cups of paint but she will need 16 cups
Zack’s original ratio makes 8 cups of orange paint, but he will need 16 cups
Abby will want the same orange color whether it is 4 cups or 16 cups. Zack wants his same color of orange. So ratios will help the relationship to be the same for different amounts.

Example 1) A recipe for fruit punch says to use 5 ounces of orange juice for every 3 ounces of grape juice. Janice’s punch bowl can hold 80 ounces of punch. How much orange juice is that? How much grape juice? 50 ?
All of these boxes from both tapes make 80 ounces of punch.
Orange
Grape
We don’t know the amounts of each juice so… 80
oz.
What is the ratio in the problem? 10 10 10 10 10
First, let’s draw the tapes.
Orange to grape is 5:3. So…
T O T A L 10 10 10 ?
(Time on this slide – 8 min) Time passed 20 min
In-Class Notes
Cue students to write “orange” and “grape” on worksheet when diagram appears.
Why is each box 10? This is the crux of the problem. You may want to play the animation several times to ensure all students understand why each box contains 10.
Preparation Notes 30
Because 80 ÷ 8 = 10
Or algebraically: 8b = 80
So… b = 10
50 oz
So, if 8 boxes equals 80 ounces, then each box is…
Now we can see that the orange juice is…
Now let’s look at what’s given.
Why 10?
And the grape juice is …
30 oz
