Use concrete objects and/or pictorial representations to explain ratio as a number which tells the number of times a quantity can be obtained in another. In the figures, the area of the shape A is 1 4 of the area of the shape B; so they are in the ratio 1:4. Shape C is three times the size of A so the ratio of C to A is 3:1. Assessment: Have learners practice with several examples. use concrete objects and/or pictorial representations to explain simplest form of a ratio. Shape C is made up of 6 squares and shape A is made up of 2 squares, the areas of the shapes C and A are in the ratio 6:2; and since C is three times A, the ratio 3:1 is the simplest form of 6:2. The simplest form of a ratio is obtained by dividing through by the highest Common factor. The ratio of C to B is 6:8 and its simplest form is 3:4.

Assessment: Have learners practice with several examples Solve simple problems that involve ratios and finding total ratios. E.g. (i) Out of 24 students in a class, 10 are girls. Find its simplest form the ratio of boys to girls. (ii) A boy’s mass is 50kgs, and his sister’s is 45kg. Find the ratio of their masses. assessment: Have learners practice with several examples Solve simple problems that involve ratios and finding total ratios. e.g. (iii) If an orange drink is made from concentrate and water in the ratio 3:8, what fraction of the mixture is concentrate Assessment: Have learners practice with several examples For this activity, learners use bottle tops in two colours, beans and maize grains and exercise books to build and compare concrete ratios before recording equivalent ratios and solutions.

Ask learners to tell you what they have learnt and what they will like to learn in the next lesson Give learners individual or home task Ask learners to tell you what they have learnt and what they will like to learn in the next lesson Give learners individual or home task E.g. Simplify (i) 10m : 1000km (ii) Write 4 : 12 in the form 1 : n (iii) Express 15 : 20 in the form n : 1.
