This video features the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory, home to the world's largest bat. Students see the role that measurement and engineering play in making bats to professional players' specifications and are asked to consider the ratio relationship between the big bat outside the museum and a standard-size bat. In the accompanying classroom activity, students use proportional reasoning and equivalent ratios to determine how tall a statue of a ballplayer would have to be to match the height of the big bat. Interactive Guide handout and Questions worksheet are provided.

Presents several examples of ratio tables and asks questions about the equivalent ratio values. [5:05]

Khan Academy learning modules include a Community space where users can ask questions and seek help from community members. Educators should consult with their Technology administrators to determine the use of Khan Academy learning modules in their classroom. Please review materials from external sites before sharing with students.

In this lesson designed to enhance literacy skills, students examine how to use fractions to measure and help conserve freshwater resources.

Ratios are proportional if they represent the same relationship. To see how to check if ratios are proportional, take a look at this tutorial. [4:34]
