Mr. Lowery's "Proportional Relationships" Webquest

Introduction

What are "ratios" and "percentages" and how do I use them?

The objective of this WebQuest is to learn:

1. How ratios are related to percentages, and

2. How they are used to express situations and solve simple problems.

I will compare and contrast ratios and percentages to understand how they are similar and in what ways they are different.

My role will be a self-motivated learner. I will follow directions that include independent tasks such as watching a video and answering questions online.

I will now click on the "Task" tab.

Task

The goal of this task will be:

"I can write and apply equations that represent proportional relationships."

For example, I will be able to correctly answer the question, "12 is what percent of 24?"

Applying the concepts of ratio and percentage, my answer will be "50%."

What I know will be reinforced by watching a 6-minute video.

I will next answer questions online and record the results on a "data sheet."

I will now click on the "Process" tab.

Process

Steps:

1. I will watch the video below. This is an independent task. I may take notes in my notebook.

2. After watching, I will click on the "Evaluation" tab.

Evaluation

I will answer ten (10) questions online by following these steps:

1. I will follow the link below and click on the "PLAY NOW" button.

2. I may use a calculator if needed.

3. I may work together with a peer.

4. When I have finished answering the ten questions, I will record the results on the "data sheet" provided.

After finishing the evaluation, I will click on the "Conclusion" tab.

Conclusion

Now that I have completed this task, I have reinforced old skills and learned new ones. I will leave this task with a better understanding of how ratios are related to percentages.

Percentages are used everyday in real life. When I figure out the tip for my meal at a restaurant, or the discounted price for a new pair of jeans, I am using percentages. What other ways do I use percentages?
