Making Sense of Proportional Reasoning Sometimes we need to simplify ratios Simplifying ratios helps us see the multiplication pattern The multiplication pattern tells us the ratios are a proportion. Pictures can deceive us when looking for proportions as well.
Where do we use proportional thinking? We use proportional thinking in probability –The chance of flipping heads on a coin is 1 out of 2 –The chance of rolling a 4 using one die is 1 out of 6 We use proportional thinking in mixtures –2 cups flour to 5 cups total mixture (part-to- whole) –2 cups flour to 3 cups sugar (part-to-part)
