A Collection of Snap Cubes

This Instructional Activity is a part of the Lesson 2, Unit 2, Grade 6. Here students read ratio information from a picture and represent it as a diagram. The activity serves two purposes: to reinforce ratio language introduced in the previous lesson, and to better understand the meaning of the term "diagram." As students work, check that they use ratios in their sentences and draw appropriate diagrams. Examples of sentences with ratios (from the previous lesson) should be posted in the room. Draw students' attention to these existing examples as needed.
