Currins 629

Lesson Objectives:

• ​Students will learn how to use a scale factor in order to create equivalent fractions.

• ​Students will be able to look at two equivalent fractions and determine their scale factor going from fraction A to fraction B.

• Students will be able to create an equation to represent the equivalent fractions and their scale factor.​

• ​Students will be able to create a visual for the given equivalent fractions.​

Wisconsin Mathematics Standards 7.RP.A.2 Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities. 7.RP.A.2.A Decide whether two quantities are in a proportional relationship, e.g., by testing for equivalent ratios in a table or graphing on a coordinate plane and observing whether the graph is a straight line through the origin. 7.RP.A.2.C Represent proportional relationships by equations. 7.RP.A.3 Use proportional relationships to solve multistep ratio and percent problems 7.EE.B.4 Use variables to represent quantities in a real-world or mathematical problem and construct simple equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning about the quantities.
