Exploring Equivalent Ratios through Graphing

The video tutorial covers graphing and plotting equivalent ratios on a coordinate plane. It begins with an introduction to the concept and the learning target. The first example uses a field trip scenario to demonstrate how to create a table and graph equivalent ratios. The second example involves a Rainbow Loom, showing how to simplify ratios and plot them. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of linearity in graphs of equivalent ratios and concludes with a recap of key points, including ensuring graphs start at the origin.

What is the main goal for students in this lesson?

• To learn about different types of graphs

• To memorize the multiplication table of 12

• To plot and graph points related to equivalent ratios on a coordinate plane

• To understand the history of ratios

How many students are assigned to one chaperone?

• 24 students

• 12 students

• 36 students

• 48 students

What indicates that you are dealing with equivalent ratios in a graph?

• Random noise

• Disjointed points

• A linear progression

• A curved line

What should you do if your graph starts to curve?

• Start over with new data

• It indicates correct plotting

• Understand you're not dealing with equivalent ratios

• Check for errors in plotting

What does a linear graph represent in the context of equivalent ratios?

• A mistake in plotting

• A correct representation of equivalent ratios

• A need for more data points

• An incorrect ratio

What does linear mean in the context of graphing?

• It means the graph is incorrect

• It refers to a type of ratio

• It means the points form a line

• It indicates a need for more data

What is the simplified ratio of blue to yellow rubber bands?

• 4 to 12

• 1 to 4

• 1 to 3

• 2 to 6

What ratio is used to start plotting the rainbow loom bands example?

• 4 to 12

• 1 to 3

• 3 to 9

• 2 to 6

Why is it important for the line in a graph of equivalent ratios to start at zero?

• It's not important

• To make the graph look better

• To confirm the ratios are equivalent

• To ensure accuracy

How should you space out your graph?

• Plot points close together

• Use the entire graph space

• Space is not important

• Only use the center of the graph
