Atlantean Dodge Ball (An entetaining look at appropriate use of ratios and proportions)

Ratio errors confuse one of the coaches as two teams face off in an epic dodgeball tournament. See how mathematical techniques such as tables, graphs, measurements and equations help to find the missing part of a proportion.

Atlantean Dodgeball addresses number and operations standards, the algebra standard, and the process standard, as established by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). It guides students in:

  • Understanding and using ratios and proportions to represent quantitative relationships.
  • Relating and comparing different forms of representation for a relationship.
  • Developing, analyzing, and explaining methods for solving problems involving proportions, such as scaling and finding equivalent ratios.
  • Representing, analyzing, and generalizing a variety of patterns with tables, graphs, words, and, when possible, symbolic rules.
