LEARNING OBJECTIVE Write ratios as fractions in simplest form and determine whether two ratios are equivalent. Students will explain the various hazards from earthquakes and give examples of ways to reduce earthquake damage in their home and community. I want you to tell me what a fraction is and how it is used. Use your Cornell notes to show me what you have learned. AGENDA Introduce chapter 6-1 Ratios Lecture using CD and DVD Brain Pop on Equations Small group activities on Internet over Chapter 6-1 material.
