Students will use a spoon to "catch" goldfish out of Styrofoam bowls. After the goldfish are captured, they will be replaced by the second type of goldfish (pretzel). The students will continue to catch fish and record the ratios on the worksheet provided. Then, students will use the formula given to compare their ratios, aka setting up a proportion. ]]> 2023-03-02 04:03:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ashlynh00/zh69zavetosaqbfi/wish/2500525693 ashlynh00 https://padlet.com/ashlynh00/zh69zavetosaqbfi/wish/2500526511 This activity would be used for 6th grade students.
