Day 1

Date: 4/24/2022 Teacher’s Name: Andrea Liotta

Subject: Proportions / Ratios Grade level: 7th Grade

Learning Segment Title: What are Ratios and Proportions
Length of each lesson: 45 Minutes

Central Focus:
The purpose of this unit is to expand the students' knowledge of fractions,
ratios, proportions, and scale drawings. The students will be learning about how they can make
two fractions equivalent to one another. The students will be able to use scale factors to blow up
or shrink down an image, without messing up the dimensions. The students will learn through
the use of direct instruction, group work, and engaging activities. Teaching the students this
content will allow them to use it in future math classes and under tough circumstances. This
information will help show the students how they can easily see if fractions are the same or not.
This is an important unit that will help shape the students for future math classes which will be
more difficult. With the knowledge of ratios and proportions, this can also help students outside
of the classroom in situations such as baking. With baking, the students can use this information
with measurements and how to see what is equivalent to what. This can also be used with
construction and different length measurements. Students can also use scale drawings to help
with professions such as an artist, interior designer, or an architect.

Essential Question(s):
What is a ratio?
What is the difference between a ratio and a proportion?
What is a proportion?
How are ratios and proportions used?

Learning Standards:
● CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.RP.A.2
Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities.

● CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.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.

● CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.RP.A.2.B
Identify the constant of proportionality (unit rate) in tables, graphs, equations, diagrams,
and verbal descriptions of proportional relationships.

● CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.RP.A.2.C
Represent proportional relationships by equations.

● CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.RP.A.1
Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship
between two quantities. For example, "The ratio of wings to beaks in the bird house at the zoo
was 2:1, because for every 2 wings there was 1 beak." "For every vote candidate A received,
candidate C received nearly three votes."

Academic Language

use all the important key words they learned in class.

Differentiation: ELL’s
Special Needs of Students ELL’s will be encouraged to come to extra help to
meet with the teacher and ask any questions they
may have. The students will have frequent check-in
meetings with the teacher, just to make sure
everything is going well and the student is
understanding the content. Once every quarter, the
teacher will check in with the parents of the student
to see how their independent work and studying is
going outside of the classroom.

Pre-assessment & Student Students who struggle in mathematics will be

Introduction: Sponge Activity, Anticipatory Set, Activating Prior Knowledge

Sponge Activity Slide 2

Anticipatory Set Slide 3

We will conduct a survey. We will ask
How many people in the class have blue eyes?
How many people in the class have brown eyes?
How many people in the class have green eyes?
I will inform the students that we will later be learning about how to make ratios with
numbers similar to the numbers from our survey.

for one of the vocabulary terms they are assigned. The terms will be; ratio, fraction,
percentage, and proportion. The students will use their notes of the definitions and the
previous examples that were shown to come up with a Frayer model of the term they are
assigned.
Examples of the Frayer Model for the terms (Slide 15)
I will show the students examples of that the Frayer Models can look like, but I
will assure them; there is not one specific way to make a Frayer Model
 2. Independent Practice (Slide 16)
Exit Slip
-Using what they learned from class, students will summarize each term
in its corresponding box.
Evaluative Criteria: You will not only be graded on completion of the task, but as well as your
understanding of the terms that we learned in class.
Each definition will be graded out of 2 points. Full credit will be given if you successfully write up
the definition corresponding to the term. Partial credit (1 point) will be given if you have some
correct ideas, yet the definition needs to be cleaned up.
Post-Reading Strategy
-Students will use their knowledge from the beginning of the class to
summarize the definitions. This will also be a way to help them reflect on their learning
from the class period. It can show them what they do and do not understand from the
class that day.

Bonus Assignment: (Slide 17)

This is an important unit that will help shape the students for future math classes which will be
more difficult. With the knowledge of ratios and proportions, this can also help students outside
of the classroom in situations such as baking. With baking, the students can use this information
with measurements and how to see what is equivalent to what. This can also be used with
construction and different length measurements. Students can also use scale drawings to help
with professions such as an artist, interior designer, or an architect.

Essential Question(s):
How do I find the area of a scaled image?
How do I represent the relationship between the scale drawing area and the actual
area?

Learning Standards:
7.G. 1 Category: Geometry
Sub-Category: Draw, Construct, and Describe Geometrical Figures and describe
the relationship between them.
State Standard: Solve problems involving scale drawings of geometric figures,
including computing actual lengths and areas from a scale drawing and reproducing a scale
drawing at a different scale.

Academic Language
Language Function
Students will determine the relationship between the scale
factor and the area of the images. The students will be able
to calculate areas of scaled images in a more convenient
way.

Vocabulary Scale, Area, Scale factor, graph, ratio, multiplication,

fraction, division, units, drawing

Syntax Solve for an area using the scale factor squared.

Discourse Students will communicate with one another using their

terms that they have from throughout the unit to try and
make connections to see what it means for the scale factor
squared to be the size of the area comparaison.
Differentiation: ELL’s
Special Needs of Students ELL’s will be encouraged to come to extra help to
meet with the teacher and ask any questions they
may have. The students will have frequent check-in
meetings with the teacher, just to make sure
everything is going well and the student is
understanding the content. Once every quarter, the
teacher will check in with the parents of the student
to see how their independent work and studying is
going outside of the classroom.

Pre-assessment & Student Students who struggle in mathematics will be

Readiness given a remember sheet, which can contain
important information from years past that they will
need in this class.

Content Differentiation Students who struggle with math and have a

limited background will be given a vocabulary sheet
to help them try and remember the vocab terms.

Process Differentiation The students will receive the printed out

powerpoint, followed by an example sheet that
walks through how to solve the problems.

Product Differentiation During examinations and quizzes, these students

will be allowed an index card where they can jot
down any important information they need to know
for the assessment.

Lesson Topic: Computing Actual Areas from a Scale Drawing

Outcomes Assessments

Students will: -Homework Assignment

-Identify the scale factor
- Given a scale drawing, compute the
area in the actual picture

Introduction: Sponge Activity, Anticipatory Set, Activating Prior Knowledge

Sponge Activity Slide 52
 Anticipatory Set Slide 53
Students will be asked the following 2 questions.
-What is the area formula for a rectangle / square?
-What is the area formula for a triangle?

Activating Prior Knowledge Slide 54

Brainstorming Activity
-Students will be given 60 seconds to complete a brainstorming activity. They will
be asked to write down everything that comes to mind when they think of images and
image scaling.
Evaluative Criteria: Since this activity is building off of yesterday's work, it will be evaluated
using a Check Minus, Check, Check Plus method!
Check Minus: You will receive a check minus if your brainstorm has good ideas, but can
be pushed further with what we learned in our previous lesson.
Check: You will receive a check if your brainstorm is on target and includes important
concepts from class yesterday.
Check Plus: You will receive a check plus if the brainstorm you generated incorporates
all the ideas that were mentioned in class yesterday, and you are tying it in with outside
knowledge.

Initial Phase Direct Instruction

Important area formulas (Slide 55)
-Area formula of a rectangle / square
-Area formula of a triangle
Example 1 (Slide 56)
-work together to fill in the missing information
-scale factor, actual area, scale drawing area, value of the ratio of the scale
drawing area to the actual area
Example 2 (Slide 57)
-work together to fill in the missing information
-scale factor, actual area, scale drawing area, value of the ratio of the scale
drawing area to the actual area
Example 3 (Slide 58)
-work together to fill in the missing information
 -scale factor, actual area, scale drawing area, value of the ratio of the scale
drawing area to the actual area
What did we notice? (Slide 59)
-we will point out what we noticed about the ratios of the areas, which will lead us
to draw a conclusion
What do we notice about the ratio of the areas? (Slide 60)
-the ratio of the areas is the scale factor squared
How does this relate to scale drawings? (Slide 61)
-determine relationships
Middle Phase
1. Guided Practice (Slide 62)
The students will be working out their own example, and will be asked to use
what we have learned in examples 1-3 to help them.

Answers (Slide 63)

This slide will show the answer to example 4

2. Independent Practice (Slide 64)

-Homework Assignment
-Students will complete a homework assignment with 2 questions and
hand it in at the beginning of the next class.
Answers:
Evaluative Criteria: The following homework assignment will be graded out of 10 points.
Question 1 is going to be worth 2 points. Students will receive full credit for showing work and
getting the correct answer. If no work is shown, you will lose points.
Question 2 is going to be worth 8 points. Each part of the question is going to be worth 2 points.
You will receive full credit if you show work and receive the correct answer. Partial credit will be
given if there is work shown.

Concluding Phase
Closure: Slide 65
The students will raise their hands and summarize the lesson as if they were
going to be explaining it to a student who was absent from class that day.

Follow up: What comes next to reinforce the lesson (HW or supplemental instruction)
Students will work on a 2 question, multiple part homework assignment.
