Visual aids can really help us understand direct and inverse proportions. Here’s how they work:

• Graphs: When we look at a graph, we can see how one thing goes up while another goes down. This is called inverse proportion, and it’s easier to understand with a visual.

• Charts: Charts can show us ratios in a way that’s easy to see. They help us notice patterns and relationships between different things.

• Diagrams: By using shapes or pictures, diagrams can show how two quantities are connected. For example, in direct proportion, we can see how one number increases when the other does, like in the equation $y = kx$.

These tools help turn tricky ideas into something we can really understand!
