What resonates with me is that one question can cover so many different curriculum objectives – depending on the grade level.
A ratio table finally makes sense to me. I never understood the point of teaching kids the “input / output” machine in the textbook. What was the purpose?? Now I see the reasoning and will hopefully be able to show my students the value of them, too. (Not by assigning #1 – 10 odds in the textbook!!)
I am wondering how long it will take for my students to learn how to use double number lines, and then move into ratio tables. I am quite sure they are unfamiliar with most of this.
