Determine If 2 Ratios Are Equivalent Math Games

3 games

In this series of games, your students will learn how to decide whether two quantities are in a proportional relationship. The Determine If 2 Ratios Are Equivalent learning objective — based on CCSS and state standards — delivers improved student engagement and academic performance in your classroom, as demonstrated by research. This learning objective directly references 7.RP.A.2.a as written in the common core national math standards.

Concepts Covered

Ratios happen when there are two or more quantities related. Ratios can have the same units (ratios) or different units (rates). The term Ratio can be used for same and different units as well. Determine if two quantities are proportional by using or creating a ratio table and seeing if the values are in proportion change in a constant manner. Determine if two quantities are proportional by creating a table and graphing. If the two quantities are proportional their coordinates will fall on a straight line that passes through the origin.

Graph a line showing the relationship of two variables to determine proportionality by determining if the line passes through the origin and has a constant slope. Determine if a relationship is proportional in a table by finding the difference in x values and the difference in y values. If the relationship is proportional then the x and corresponding y values will have the same rate of change.

Ratio and Proportion - Discover Estimated Duration: 10 minutes Move the hands around the screen to explore the Challenge ratio. Use the options on the screen to help you form rules for finding the right ratio. Move onto the next challenge when you have figured it out. Challenge yourself to move the hands around the screen while keeping the ratio.

Ratio and Proportion - Create Estimated Duration: 10 minutes Create your own ratio Challenges. Choose a ratio and hide the Challenge to explore yourself or give to someone else. Challenge yourself to move the hands around the screen while keeping the ratio with different Challenge ratios.

Basketball Master Estimated Duration: 12 minutes Shoot a basketball through the hoop and answer some questions along the way! The game does not have any instructional content, it simply has review questions spread throughout.

Galaxy Escape Estimated Duration: 20 minutes 10 Bright Monsters have been captured in space and they need your help to cross the galaxy jumping between platforms, finding them, and releasing them by correctly answering each question. Each monster that you release and unlock will be available to play with in the next level, in the search for the next monster. In your journey, you’ll be able to find power-ups, like ‘Double points’ and ‘Slow down’, which can be activated by finding gems, and their duration can be extended by correctly answering a question. Unlock and release the 10 different monsters and a spaceship along 10 different levels, while you make the most possible points.

Farm Adventure Estimated Duration: 12 minutes Help the farmers harvest vegetables and sell them in the city, all while mastering ratio equivalence!

Image for Identifying Proportional Relationships

Identifying Proportional Relationships Estimated Duration: 4 minutes In this lesson, students delve into real-world scenarios to explore proportional relationships. Through these examples they will learn what makes graphs proportional and then extend their knowledge to determine if tables are proportional in two different ways. The first way will be by creating graphs and then the second way will be through identifying if the ratios are constant.
