Description

Could your kids use a fun review of ratios, percents and how they relate? This class activity is FUN and gets kids up and moving! It will also help your students better understand the percent proportion and why we can use it to solve problems.
 
Use this as extra practice with kids in 6th grade who are still working to master ratios and percent, or as a review for kids in 7th grade who are struggling and need extra practice.
 
This is a great way to help kids see how ratios and proportions can help them solve percent problems!

How the Scavenger Hunt Works:

The scavenger hunt includes 10 problems for kids to solve for missing parts of a proportion involving percent. To set it up, post all 10 problems in various locations around your room. Give each student a recording sheet and then you’re ready to get started!
 
To begin, kids can start with ANY of the problems. They solve it on their recording sheet and then have to FIND the solution somewhere around the classroom.
 
When they find the answer to the problem, they solve the NEXT problem in the scavenger hunt.
 
Eventually, they will end up back where they started and they’ll know they have completed the hunt correctly.

Tips for Using This in the Classroom:

  • Give kids a clipboard to make it easier to record their work and answers as they move about the room
  • Let kids work with partners as they make their way through the scavenger hunt
  • If you have a large class, assign kids a starting problem so they’re not all bunched together at the same location
  • Collect the recording sheets as an informal assessment of how your students are doing
  • Use this as an end-of-unit review, end-of-the-year review or as a substitute activity (be sure to do this with your students prior to leaving it with a sub so students know how it works)

Additional Skills Practice:

This download also includes 2 additional practice worksheets to provide students with additional, independent practice with ratios and percent.
 
Use these with students who need additional support and practice, as an individual grade after the whole class activity, or to send home as homework practice.
 
The first covers writing and simplifying ratios (This is foundational for seeing how ratios can relate to percent, so if kids are struggling, start here to review).
 
The second worksheet covers writing a fraction as a percent as well as solving percent word problems. It is recommended that students use a tape diagram to solve these, but they can also set up a proportion like in the scavenger hunt.
 
If your kids struggle with solving percent proportions, you may want to use the practice worksheets BEFORE completing the class scavenger hunt to help review and support students who need it.
