Have we convinced you to love ratio tables as much as we do yet? In this episode Pam and Kim tackle another model building Problem String to show what a powerful model a ratio table can be.
Talking Points:

  • A non-unit ratio Problem String
  • Ratios must be equivalent in a ratio table
  • Reasoning proportionally can be much cleaner than cross-multiply-and-divide
  • Model building strings verses strategy building strings
  • Start with reasoning and representing thinking then dive deeper into properties
  • What's next? A strategy building string using a ratio table as a model
  • Don't forget to post how you represented your ratio table on social media!
