1. Presented by Dr Anne M. Collins Lesley University, Cambridge, MA 02339 collins2@lesley.edu Solving Ratio and Proportions on the Cartesian Coordinate Plane

2. Multiple representations for ratios, rates, and proportions. Examine discrete and continuous representations. Experience teaching at all grade levels K – 12, undergrads, and graduate students Introduction

3. Ratio as comparisons Ratio as part to part Rates Answers the question How Many?! Discrete Representations Addition Subtraction Fraction as number Ratio as part to whole Percents Answers the question How Much?! Continuous Representations Two types of ratio representations.

4. Tape Diagrams Double Number Lines Graphing on the Coordinate Plane Strategies Include

5. Delilah and Emmalyse shared a box of beads in the ratio of 5:3. Delilah gave half her share to Emmalyse. Emmalyse then had 30 more beads than Delilah. How many beads did Delilah give to Emmalyse? Tape Diagram Comparison Problem

8. Extremely effective when the quantities have different units. Effective with percent problems. Effective with percent of increase or decrease problems. Extremely effective with rate problems. Help students make sense of why cross-multiplication works. Solving Problems Using Double Number Lines

9. Anne left home at 6 p.m. to drive the 135 miles to Easthampton. She arrived at Easthampton at 8 p.m. What was Anne’s average rate of speed? Solve the Problem Using Double Number Lines

10. Double Number Lines miles Time in hours 135 2 1 ?

11. Double Number Lines- Find Unit Rates/Solve Proportions miles Time in hours 135 2 1 ?

12. Using the values from the number lines we get ? 135 1 2 Step One: Find scale factor or unit rate Step Two: Apply scale factor of ½ to get 67.5 miles per one mile. From a Double Number Line to a Proportion

13. Sophie and Jared shared some markers in the ratio of 7:5. Sophie gave Jared 12 markers. If each of them had the same number of markers in the end, how many markers did Sophie have in the beginning? How many did Sophie have after sharing? How many did Jared have in the beginning?

16. Lesson 1: Division Lesson 2: Using Proportions Lesson 3: Graphing on the Cartesian Coordinate Plane Comparing Ratios As Percents

17. Cartesian Coordinate Plane Convert 3/4 and 4/5 to percents and determine the larger value.

18. Cartesian Coordinate Plane Convert 3/4 and 4/5 to percents and determine the larger value. Mark a square through the point (10, 10). Notice the square has 100 square units. The percent is found at the point of intersection between the ray and the x = 10.
