FOUR: Use different ratios of food coloring drops to make the best
purple or the best green. Start with a multi cell tray and
systematically try different ratios, record your data and photograph
your results.
FOUR: Homework: What's the best ratio of sugar for Koolaid? How
much sugar is really needed 2 cups per package? Design an experiment
and report your data to the class.
FOUR: PROJECT: Which is the best ratio for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?

FIVE:
Choose the pictorial ratios that are equal: practice on 6
screens then progress to quiz and show the score to the teacher online.
FIVE: Use physical objects or Smartboard objects ( math dinos,
buttons, erasers) to model ratios and proportions: If you start with 3
bunny eraser to 7 chick erasers if you double the bunnies how many
chicks will you need to keep the ratios equal? Can you just double
both? Will the same thing work if you quadruple both? Try it. What
happens if you just add 2 more bunnies, can you just add 2 more chicks
and keep the proportion equal?
