Ratios Immersion

We started our Ratios immersion tasks this week. We used these cool free digital unifix cubes which you can find here https://www.didax.com/apps/unifix/



We used the cubes to make representations of our understanding of the following ratios.  I am very proud of the resilience displayed in the past 2 days of ratio, percentage and fraction explorations.  In our first group session there was a lot of "I don't even know what a ratio is". One of the benefits of working online is that we have access to tools like Google to help us fill gaps. Ultimately, everyone shared ideas, asked questions, referred to Google and came up with unifix cube representations of these ratios;

  • 1:3
  • 2:6
  • 1:4

I was embarrassed that I had made a mistake which is one of the pitfalls of cross-cultural analysis. There are always positive outcomes for every situation and we were able to have a discussion about where the symbol may have originated. Another positive outcome is that I am extremely aware of my cultural limitations. So this will result in me asking more questions, seeking more input from experts in our class and in the community. As you can see, I was not confident enough in what I found on the internet to use it in my blog title. An opportunity for further learning. One of the challenges this week is to; LEARN - the signs o...
