Learning Ratios Through Collaboration:
Mrs. Glidewellâs 6th grade math classes worked together during a card sort activity from the Illustrative Mathematics curriculum. Students collaborated in small groups to match ratio diagrams with the correct ratio sentences, explaining their thinking and checking their matches with teammates.
Activities like this give students the opportunity to strengthen their understanding of ratios while also building communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. Great learning happens when students think, talk, and work together!
