Week 3: Tuesday and Wednesday

As we dive deeper into ratios, you may be asking this question...

How does this apply to real life?

Well, we see ratios around us every day! We may see it when...
"The speed limit was 60 miles per hour, or 60 miles: 1 hour."
"You have a 1 in 28,000,000 chance of winning the lottery, or 1 winner: 28,000,000 chances."
"There were enough cookies for every student to have two, or 2 cookies: 78 students."
"The children outnumbered the adults 3:1, or there were three times as many children as there were adults."

Check out this example where ratios apply to posting pictures on social media!

Now, it's your turn to think of a ratio you may encounter in your everyday life. You are going to illustrate your ratio using something called Storyboard That! This is a tool that allows you to create your own comic strips! Take a look at this video to learn about this great tool.

Today's Assignment

Due Week 3: Wednesday at 11:59 pm.

Your assignment is to create a six-cell comic strip. Share a story that shows a use of ratios in real life! Your comic should include dialogue, thoughts, backgrounds, multiple people, and changes in poses and emotions. Take a look at my example below. You have two school days for this assignment.

Share your comic in this discussion post. Then, reply to three of your peers on their comics.
