Session Description

Many real-life problems involve ratios, proportions, rates, and percentages, which can be challenging for both students and adults alike. In this interactive session, we will start with a practical problem and then use a variety of examples to progressively unpack a set of approaches that can help make this topic more accessible for students. Throughout the session, we will cover related concepts, skills, and processes for these topics across Years 7–10.

Key takeaways:
1. Approaches to modelling and solving problems involving ratio, proportion, rates and percentages.
2. A collection of related activities and resource links. 
3. A progression of key concepts,skills and processes for learning about ratio, proportion,rates and percentages across Years 7 – 10 of the Victorian Curriculum V2.0.

Remember: Participants should have access to a scientific calculator.
