**Grade 5 Mathematics Lesson Plan: Visualizing the Ratio of 2 Given Numbers**

**Objective:**
By the end of the 50-minute lesson, students will be able to:

- **Cognitive Domain:**
- Define and explain the concept of a ratio.
- Visualize and interpret the ratio of two given numbers using visual aids.

**Example:** Start with a scenario where students share candies in a specific ratio, illustrating
how many candies one person gets compared to another.

- **Affective Domain:**
- Recognize the relevance of ratios in real-world scenarios.

**Example:** Discuss real-life situations like mixing ingredients for recipes or sharing items
among friends, emphasizing the importance of ratios in everyday life.

- **Psychomotor Domain:**
- Use drawing and modeling tools to illustrate ratios in different contexts.

**Example:** Provide drawing materials and ask students to represent the given ratio visually,
such as drawing circles to represent parts of a whole.

**Lesson Plan:**

1. **Introduction (I do):**
- Begin with a scenario: "Imagine you have a bag of 20 candies, and you want to share them
with your friend. How can we express the ratio of candies you have to the total?"
- Present the definition of a ratio: "A ratio is a way of comparing two or more quantities."
- Use visual aids (candies or pictures) to demonstrate the concept.

**Example:** Show 20 candies, and explain that if you share them in a 2:1 ratio, one person
gets 2 candies for every 1 the other person gets.

2. **Guided Practice (We do):**

- Collaboratively solve examples as a class: "Let's solve a few examples together, starting
with simple ratios like 3:2."
- Introduce different ways to represent ratios, such as using drawings: "How can we visually
show the ratio 3:2?"

**Example:** Draw circles to represent parts of a whole, dividing them into segments
according to the given ratio.
3. **Independent Practice (You do):**
- Distribute worksheets with problems: "Now, it's your turn. Solve the problems on your own
and use drawings to represent the ratios."
- Encourage students to use the visualization techniques discussed during the lesson.

**Example:** Worksheet problems may include scenarios like sharing objects or dividing
quantities in specific ratios.

4. **Application (We do/You do):**

- Discuss and solve real-world problems: "Let's apply what we've learned. If you have 24
cookies and want to share them in a 4:3 ratio, how many does each person get?"
- Have students work in pairs to create their own scenarios and solve them using ratios.

**Example:** Students create scenarios like sharing toys or distributing classroom supplies in
a given ratio.

5. **Evaluation (Quiz):**
- Conduct a 10-item quiz aligning with the lesson objectives:
1. What is a ratio, and how is it defined?
2. Provide an example of a ratio using candies, where one person gets more than the other.
3. How would you visually represent the ratio 5:3 using drawings?
4. In real-life scenarios, why is understanding ratios important?
5. Solve the problem: You have 30 pencils to share in a 2:1 ratio. How many does each
person get?
6. Explain the concept of a ratio in your own words.
7. Draw a representation of the ratio 4:2 using circles or other visual aids.
8. Share a scenario where understanding ratios is crucial outside of the classroom.
9. If you share 50 marbles in a 3:2 ratio, how many does each person get?
10. Discuss with your partner why collaboration is essential when working with ratios.

**Adjustments:**
- Provide additional support to students struggling with visualizing ratios.
- Offer challenging problems for students who grasp the concept quickly.

**Feedback:**
- Provide constructive feedback on quiz performance, highlighting correct answers and
addressing any misconceptions.
- Encourage students to review their quiz results and ask questions for further clarification.

**Assignment:**
- As a follow-up, assign students a task to create a short presentation or poster illustrating a
real-world scenario where understanding ratios is crucial. This allows for individual creativity and
reinforces the application of ratios beyond the classroom setting.
**Closure:**
- Summarize the key concepts: "Today, we explored the world of ratios and how to visualize
them. Your assignment will reinforce what you've learned, and remember, ratios are
everywhere!"
