With this resource, your students will be able to simplify whole number ratios, find the highest common factor (HCF), formulate equivalent ratios and identify a pattern in a given set of ratios. SECTIONS INCLUDED: * Booklet Cover with a quote by Hans Hoffman * Study note on Simplifying Ratios * Simplifying whole-number ratios by finding the highest common factor (HCF) – ‘work with the teacher’ sheets and ‘work on your own’ sheets * Simplifying whole-number ratios (math LIB) Recording Sheet. * Simplifying whole-number ratios (math LIB) 10 Task Cards. (2 on a page) colour and Blackline * Simplifying whole-number ratios (math LIB) 10 blackline Task Cards on a single page for students to glue in their notebooks as reference. ADDITIONAL: *Answer Key included *MATH LIB ACTIVITY My students really enjoyed this activity – I’m sure your students will too! I cut out and laminated the ten task cards. I then tacked them to the wall with Blu-Tack. (this way cards don’t get lost if they were left on students’ desks – it also gets students up and moving), Students then write the ratio to solve on their recording sheet, simplify it and look for their answer from the list of options. They write the word against the selected option in the ‘fill in the blanks’ section. The end result is a silly message. You will find that this is a far more interesting way of answering a multiple-choice question and checking students’ answers. The activity sets up all students for success – you will notice that the answer to card 10 is quite obvious. The other cards also target differentiation.

You may project the answer key on the whiteboard and explain steps involved in problem solving.
