PURPOSE:
Use this activity to guide your students through understanding how ratios may be used in real life. Your students will be required to measure an image length and width with accuracy. Then they will use scale factors and ratios to create a grid on that image and scale the image up to 5 times the size.

This product contains:
✏️ 3 pages of instructions for students to read and use
✏️ Printable Candy Bar Wrappers to Scale
✏️ Samples of Student Work
✏️ An assignable Easel activity
STORY:
I had seen that someone had this idea before – this is certainly not an original. So it is free to you but I went ahead and wrote out step-by-step how to do it. This activity took my students anywhere from 3-5 hours to complete. I would recommend this version of the activity for work with ratios and proportional reasoning commonly taught in 6th and 7th grades.
