• They practiced identifying equivalent ratios by simplifying or expanding the given ratios.
• The child also developed an understanding of how equivalent ratios can represent the same relationship between quantities in different forms.
• They learned to apply the concept of equivalent ratios to solve real-world problems involving proportions.

For continued development related to identifying equivalent ratios, it would be beneficial to engage the child in activities that involve real-life scenarios and practical applications of ratios. This could include cooking or baking, where they can practice using equivalent ratios to adjust the quantities of ingredients in recipes. Additionally, using visual aids such as bar models and diagrams can help reinforce the concept of equivalent ratios.
