This is my text set for math. It is made to help students
learn about ratios and proportions. I created it to have material that will
help students who are struggling and students who are more advanced in this
subject.
This is a website that I believe would be very helpful for
students. You could assign it as homework or something for them to work on in
class if there are computers. It is very interactive and guides students
through modules of ratio and proportion problems. It is like an online
tutorial.
This is a book that caught my eye when I saw it was
described as a “short” book. Although it looks like a textbook, I think it
would be very helpful. It is short and all about ratios and proportions. It
even includes 30 helpful practice problems.
This is a great article that is an easy read. I think
students would develop a better understanding for ratios and proportions. It
explains them clearly and is very to the point.
This is a video telling a story of how ratios and
proportions came to be. It is a funny story about a king trying to figure out
an equation for a problem he has. Even though it is very simple and a little
childish, the video explains step by step how to solve a proportion. It uses a
story that makes it easy for students to remember.
This website is very interactive and gives students a lesson
on ratios and proportions. It is very simple and to the point. It gives many
example problems and very well done explanations.
Help With Proportions
This is a very simple website. It has a little reading about
ratios and proportions and how to solve for them. Then it has a place where you
can plug in numbers and see how the proportion works with numbers that you
chose.
This text set would be very helpful for students at all
different levels. I included some challenging websites with interactive games and
I also included some readings and videos that teach ratios and proportions in a
very simple manner. I believe that this would be a very helpful set of texts
for students to use.
