Ratio Scavenger Hunt
Search around the room to find the following items. Count them, and compare the number of items using a ratio.
You need to write each ratio three different ways, eg: if you were comparing the 2 clocks to the 1 light switch, you need to write 2:1, 2 to 1, and the fraction: 2/1.
Find and record the ratio of…
Boy students to girl students

Complete these questions below in your Maths book. TRY to do them without a calculator, using your simplifying fractions skills.
If you find this tricky, you may use a calculator but ONLY if you write the sums out properly in your Maths book first so that I can see you know what you are doing.
Remember:
First: Make sure both numbers are written using the same units! (eg: cm, km, hours).
Then: Write it as a fraction and multiply by 100!

Fractions, Decimals & Percentages Spoons: Grady, Ryan, Farhana, Maddie & Kirsten
Each set of cards that goes together = four cards: 1 percentage, 1 decimal, 1 fraction with a denominator of 100, and 1 simplified fraction. If you are the last person to grab a spoon you earn a letter from the word SPOONS. In each round, the person with the complete set of four cards (who grabbed the first spoon) must prove to the group that they do indeed have the correct set of four matching cards. The game is over when someone earns all the letters to spell out the word SPOONS.

Share your cards equally. Flip two cards each to make a decimal number between 0 and 1.
You both then need to:
1. Colour two hundredths squares to represent both decimal numbers.
2. Glue these into your Maths book and compare them to determine which decimal number is the largest.
3. Write a number sentence and word sentence to compare the decimals (like in the picture below).
The winning player gets to keep the cards used in that round. At the end of the game the player with the largest pile of cards is the winner.
