Original Prompt

Create a review lesson of equivalent ratios at the 6th-grade level. Add the Greatest common factor to the lesson if it will help. Create an assignment that will give a formative assessment for this skill.

This learning resource explores the concept of equivalent ratios through definitions, methods to find them, and practical applications. It begins with vocabulary related to ratios and equivalent values, followed by worked examples illustrating two methods for finding equivalent ratios: multiplying or dividing both parts of a ratio by the same non-zero number and using the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) to simplify ratios. Students engage in activities such as collaborative problem-solving, guided practice on real-world applications, and self-assessment of their understanding of ratios. The document also includes techniques for simplifying ratios and a section for peer check-ins to encourage collaborative learning. Various practice problems designed for independent work reinforce the concepts of equivalent ratios and simplification.
