Visual tools really help Year 7 students understand ratios by turning tricky ideas into something they can see and work with.
When students use bar models and diagrams, it’s easier for them to understand how different amounts relate to each other.
Here are some examples:
Bar Models: These are like pictures that show students how to compare different ratios. For example, if you have two bars that represent the ratios 2:3 and 4:3, students can color in parts of the bars. This helps them see how each part fits into the whole.
Diagrams: Things like pie charts let students show parts of a whole. This makes it simpler to understand how each part connects to the entire set.
Using these visuals makes learning about ratios not only clearer but also more fun and interactive!
