3. =Page 68 problem 6.3....

OBJECTIVE: See 2-9 above. ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Warm-Up Quiz: Area Perimeter Volume. Groups will present findings for problem 6.3. Students will evaluate. Start on page 76-78 Problem #12 NOTES: HOMEWORK: Read/Review pp98 and 99 The Paper Pool Project

There are five different kinds of comparing and scaling: Examples are based on eight pets - three cats and five dogs 1) ratios - ratios are comparing two numbers. There are three forms of ratios: a) three cats to five dogs = 3 to 5 b) three cats to five dogs = 3:5 c) three cats to five dogs = 3/5 There are two kinds of ratios: a) part to whole - three cats of eight pets a) part to part - three cats to five dogs 2) differences - The difference between two sets a) there are two more dogs then cats b) there are two less cats then dogs 3) fractions (Must be part to whole ratios) a) 3/8 of the pets are cats b) 5/8 of the pets are dogs 4) percentages (Must be part to whole ratios) a) (3/8 x 100) = 37.5% of the pets are cats b) (5/8 x 100) = 62.5% of the pets are dogs 5) scaling a) There are 1.666 times as many dogs as cats b) there are cats = 0.6 times dogs
