We are still working with our Ratio Unit focusing specifically on ratios within word problems. Students have already completed a number of ratio word problems with me in class. They should have their ratio sheets for reference on how to set these problems up & solve them. A couple of pointers:

#1 Read the problem two or three times to understand exactly what the problem is asking

#2 Sometimes the problem is giving you the “reduced ratio” and you must construct the “original ratio” by finding relationships

#3 USE LABELS!!!!!!!! They will keep you on track!!!!!

HOMEWORK FOR MONDAY NIGHT, JANUARY 28th
Ratio Word Problems pg 9 all problems

The Coordinate Plane test went extremely well today & I can’t wait to get these assessments graded!!
