What's a Ratio?

Ratios are everywhere! The scale on a map or blueprint is a ratio. Ingredients sometimes need to be mixed using ratios such as the ratio of water to cement mix when making cement. Watch this tutorial to learn about ratios. Then think of some ratios you've encountered before!
How Do You Use a Table of Equivalent Ratios to Predict a Value?

Patterns are everywhere! In this tutorial, you'll see how to use the pattern in a table to find an answer to a word problem.
How Do You Find Equivalent Ratios?

Ratios are used to compare numbers. When you're working with ratios, it's sometimes easier to work with an equivalent ratio. Equivalent ratios have different numbers but represent the same relationship. In this tutorial, you'll see how to find equivalent ratios by first writing the given ratio as a fraction. Take a look!
How Do You Determine If Two Ratios are Proportional by Reducing?

Ratios are proportional if they represent the same relationship. One way to see if two ratios are proportional is to write them as fractions and then reduce them. If the reduced fractions are the same, your ratios are proportional. To see this process in action, check out this tutorial!
How Do You Write a Ratio From a Word Problem?

Sometimes the hardest part of a word problem is figuring out how to turn the words into a math problem. In this tutorial, you'll see how to take the information given in a word problem and write a ratio. Then, reduce the ratio and explain its meaning. See it all in this tutorial!
How Do You Solve a Word Problem Using Ratios?

This tutorial shows you how to use a ratio to create equivalent ratios. Then, use a multiplier to find a missing value and solve the word problem. Take a look!
What are Equivalent Ratios?

Equivalent ratios are just like equivalent fractions. If two ratios have the same value, then they are equivalent, even though they may look very different! In this tutorial, take a look at equivalent ratios and learn how to tell if you have equivalent ratios.
