Equivalent Ratios Station Rotation for Grade 4
A multi-part station rotation packet that walks students through equivalent ratios and ratio tables, with a standard, learning target, success criteria, word wall vocabulary, four stations, and sort cards in three tiered versions (Below Basic, Basic, and Proficient). It builds scaling skills through multiplication and division and includes self-check and discussion prompts, making it well suited to a 45 to 60 minute math block with small groups rotating independently.
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this during a Thursday math block as a rotation, with each group starting at a different station and cycling through all four in about 10 minutes each.
- Discussion question: How could you tell whether two ratios like 2:3 and 4:6 are equivalent without making a table?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Let students use the Below Basic version with repeated-addition counters and read station directions aloud with a partner before starting.
- Extension for advanced students: Have them move to the Proficient multi-step word problems and explain how they identified the unit rate in each one.
- Plan roughly 45 to 60 minutes total, including a brief launch on the standard and learning target and a short wrap-up where students check the success criteria.
