Discover the differences and similarities between fractions and ratios through hands-on activities!
Understanding fractions is crucial for everyone to learn. They are a fundamental concept in mathematics, and aid in future success as students transition into algebra and other advanced topics. Fraction sets provide a visual reinforcement and spatial reasoning of the concept. Students are able to see how a fraction is a portion of something larger.
Another way to compare values is through the use of ratios. A ratio is a comparison of two or more numbers that indicate their sizes in relation to each other. This comes in handy when students try to determine how to double a recipe when baking or when they need to determine the ratio when combining colors to create a desired hue.
