About This Lesson
Students will work to solve several ratio problems independently using tape diagrams or ratio tables. Then they will work in small groups to become experts in how to solve just one of the assigned problems. Groups will then be mixed up for a jigsaw share. Each student will present to their small group how to solve their expert problem using one of the tools. They will listen to others' presentations so that they can be sure they have the correct answers and have used the tools properly. Then they will solve a last exit ticket problem on their own. Aligned with CCSS: 6.RP.3 , 6.RP.3a
The differentiated practice is very helpful to give high cognitive demand for varying levels of students.
