Students work in pairs to scale up or down a simple recipe (e.g., for cookies or lemonade) using ratios. They must adjust ingredient quantities while maintaining the original proportions. This hands-on activity helps students understand how ratios work in real-life situations.

Create a scavenger hunt around the classroom or school where students must find objects or images that represent specific ratios (e.g., 2:3, 1:4). Students work in small groups, taking photos or collecting items to present their findings to the class.

Students experiment with mixing primary colors in different ratios to create secondary and tertiary colors. They record their color ratios and create a chart showing how different proportions result in various shades. This activity combines art with math, making it engaging and memorable.

Using Lego or similar building blocks, students create structures based on given ratios. For example, they might be asked to build a tower where the ratio of red to blue blocks is 3:2. This hands-on activity helps visualize ratios in a tangible way.

Divide the class into teams for a fun relay race. Each team member must solve a ratio problem before passing the baton to the next person. Problems can include simplifying ratios, finding equivalent ratios, or applying ratios to word problems. This activity combines physical activity with math practice.

Provide students with a map of a fictional town or a real local area. Give them the scale (e.g., 1 cm : 1 km) and have them calculate real-world distances between landmarks using ratios. This activity helps students understand how ratios are used in cartography and spatial reasoning.

Students create artwork using specific ratios. For example, they might design a landscape where the ratio of land to sky is 2:3, or create a portrait where facial features are placed according to the golden ratio. This project integrates art and math, encouraging creativity while applying ratio concepts.

Adapt the classic Battleship game to practice ratios. Instead of coordinates, students use ratios to guess the location of ships. For example, 'Is there a ship at the point where the ratio of distance from left to right is 3:5?' This game makes ratio practice fun and interactive.

Using real sports statistics (e.g., basketball shooting percentages, baseball batting averages), students analyze and compare player performances using ratios. They can create visual representations like bar graphs or pie charts to display their findings. This activity connects math to popular sports, increasing engagement.

Create a set of domino-like cards where one side shows a ratio and the other side shows an equivalent ratio or proportion. Students must arrange the cards in a chain, matching equivalent ratios. This activity reinforces the concept of equivalent ratios in a game-like format.

Students research and present on how ratios are used in various real-world contexts, such as in cooking, architecture, music, or nature (e.g., the golden ratio). They create posters or digital presentations to share their findings with the class, helping to connect ratio concepts with practical applications.

Teaching Ratios Using Surveys and Voting

# data[].attributes.body
The class can hold a vote to determine the ratio of students who prefer sweet snacks versus the number of students who prefer salty snacks. Students can conduct a survey to figure out the number of students who like sweet snacks more and the number of students who like salty snacks more. Then, students can use manipulatives to find the ratio.

Use dominoes with images of fruits instead of dots to make them more attention-grabbing and easier for students to see the comparison of two different things. Pose the situation that a fruit salad needs the perfect ratio of one fruit to another. Have student write the ratios on the dominoes and find equivalent ratios.

The caller reads out different situations and students have to determine the ratio based on each situation to cover spots on their bingo card.
