Soleil-Rose completed a 10-question test on ratio and scale and scored 17 out of 20. The test gave Soleil-Rose an opportunity to apply these mathematical ideas across several questions and demonstrate understanding through scored responses. Getting help with a couple of questions also provided support while Soleil-Rose worked through the assessment. The result showed strong performance on this particular test.
Tips
Tips Build on Soleil-Rose’s test experience with a practical scale-drawing activity: measure a small object or room and represent it at a chosen scale. Next, explore ratios by mixing colored water or ingredients in different proportions, then compare how changing one quantity affects the mixture. Invite Soleil-Rose to write a ratio word problem based on the activity and explain how to solve it. Finish with a short review game that uses real-world examples such as maps, recipes, and model building.
