 THANK YOU for your purchase!
Thank you so much for supporting me by purchasing this
product. As you can see, I am a firm believer in color! Flair
pens, highlighters, color pencils, crayons, we use them all in our
CREDITS class! Get creative!
I’ve included a blank student version, typed colorful key, and a
handwritten student sample as well.
COLOR IS KEY!
Don’t be afraid to let them spice up their notes!
I tell my students, “Don’t let it take away from your
information, but instead use it to make it come to life!”
Feel free to email me at [email protected] with any
comments, questions, or concerns.
As always, remember,
“We can do ANYTHING if we just BELIEVE we can.”

quantities must stay in
order to make sense!

ratios can be visually represented several ways:

Models: Ratio Tables: Tape Diagrams: Coordinate Planes: Double Number Line:
There are 3 globes for every 2
maps. If there are 6 globes, how
many maps are there?
here are a few...
6

Some models may be better for different scenarios. You may prefer to use one model
over another. That’s fine! However! You need to be familiar with all models. If you fully
understand ratios, then you will fully understand every model! Models are just tools!
