Hello everyone! I've been told by Ms Pattison that some of our work with ratios has been a real challenge for students this week. We've been learning not only how to solve ratio problems, but also how to get our heads around a tool which may be new to students: the Tape Diagram. This tool allows students to calculate equivalent ratios as well as use a ratio to solve ratio problems. The image below is a poster I created to help students use it. I am also sharing the link (here) to the document, so you can print up a full size version for use at home. Please contact me with any questions you have about this the Tape Diagram. And remember, it's only one tool. There are others that we'll be learning about later, so if the Tape Diagram just doesn't work for your child, don't let it discourage you.
