NP11
Ratio
Use ratio notation to share quantities and interpret scale drawings.
Builds on: NP10
Write 3-part ratios and apply the "For every ___ there are ___" language stem across different contexts and object types.
Use ratio tables with scaling arrows (multiplication) to find equivalent ratios and prove equivalence.
Reduce integer ratios to their simplest form using Greatest Common Divisors (GCD) in ratio tables.
Simplify ratios that involve different units of measurement (money, metric length, time).
Convert decimal and fractional ratios to their simplest integer form.
Simplify ratios containing variables (algebraic parts) by finding common variable factors.
Understand map scales (e.g., 1:50,000) as unit ratios and calculate actual real-world distances from map measurements.
Calculate map-to-real and real-to-map distances, including basic hypotenuse mapping (straight-line distances) using right-angled triangles.
Translate a ratio (part:part) into a part/whole fraction using the formula a / (a + b).
Write ratios as a/b fractions to determine "how many times bigger" one part is than the other, and apply this multiplier to solve problems.
Use a bar model and a ratio table to find the value of unknown parts when the value of one part is given.
Use a bar model and ratio table to share a total given amount into a specified ratio.
Use a bar model and ratio table to find unknown parts or the whole when the difference between two parts is given.
