KSP Математика 6 grade: Пропорции

Introduction

This Grade 6 Mathematics lesson plan on “Proportions” helps teachers teach students to understand and use the equality of two ratios in solving problems.

Main material

Lesson objective: to teach students to understand proportions and find the unknown term.

Expected outcomes:

students understand what a proportion is;
know the main property of proportions;
can find the unknown term;
apply proportions in practical problems.

Lesson structure:

Organization
Greeting.
Prior knowledge
Review ratios, division, and fractions.
New topic
A proportion is an equality of two ratios: a : b = c : d
Main property: product of extremes equals product of means
Examples:
2 : 3 = 4 : 6
x : 5 = 10 : 2 → x = 25
Practice
Find x: x : 4 = 12 : 3
Find x: 5 : x = 15 : 3
Practical problem: if 3 notebooks cost 450, how much do 5 cost?
Consolidation
Pair work: discuss and check answers.
Reflection
Discuss applications (prices, scale, speed).
Conclusion
Summary, brief feedback, mention results (5–10%).

Teaching methods: explanation, practical work, pair work, discussion.
