SET INDUCTION

-Teacher ask students to draw a rectangle using the following dimensions: Length : 60cm by Width: 30cm. -Teacher then asks students to divide the rectangular strip into five equal parts. - Teacher asks students to colour three parts red and two parts blue. - Teacher explain to students that the two coloured strips can be compared using a ratio - Teacher show how a ratio is written : a:b - Teacher instructs students to compare the total number of red strips : the total number of blue strips and write it as a ratio. - Teacher repeats the same process with other rectangular strips.
