Ratios and Proportions Card Game

A professional card dealer?
The day before vacation we finished our ratios and proportions videos. We had a choice to do Khan Academy or learn a card game for making equivalent ratios. We picked the card game.






Elijah was really skilled at shuffling the cards. He taught Itancan how to do it. It is harder than it looks!

Setting up the papers.

To play you have to remove the picture cards. Then you deal four cards to each player. You can look at your cards.


You have to try to make two equivalent ratios on your paper. You have to pick a card and discard a card at your turn.


Dealing a round of cards.

This was a challenging game because you sometimes just got rid of the card you needed.

It was important to be patient as each player thought through whether it was an equivalent ratio or not.



Here is a winning round. 
1/4 = 2/8

Or, since it is ratios, you could also say:

1 to 4 and 2 to 8 are equal.
OR
1:4 and 2:8 are equal.
