ShowMe Proportional Reasoning Learning Goals

For our upcoming test for proportional reasoning, the students were asked to demonstrate their understanding of our learning goals using the ShowMe app. The students were given 30 minutes from planning to publication. They had to plan their "storyboard", script and then create the presentation. I am SUPER proud of how well the students did considering this was the first time they used the app.

The goals for the unit are:
  • I can write ratios in a variety of forms and simplify them when necessary. I can explain how order matters when writing a ratio.
  • I can recognize that ratios appear in a variety of different contexts; part-to-whole, part-to-part, and rates.
  • I can identify a rate and can calculate unit rates in order to solve real-world problems.
  • I can demonstrate how a percent is a ratio of a number to 100.
  • I can compare fractions, decimals, and percents using a number line.
