Study for Ratio and Proportion quiz; prepare "book" for notes--Geometry Theorems and Postulates; Algebra Properties.

Choose ONE of the following to gather notes from:

• watch khanacademy.org > "Finding an Unknown in a Proportion" (under Algebra: Ratios & Proportions)
  
• read and take notes from the Algebra 1 book: Proportions (starting on p148)
• do independent research on how to set up and use proportions--be careful to research "ratios and proportions" to see the relationship between the two

Note: there will be a quiz on Ratios and Proportions on Wednesday, 8/29.

Notes on Ratios--complete the notes from the video:
Khanacademy.org >>Algebra: Ratio & Proportions >>Introduction to Ratios

Notes need to be clear and show examples. Need to be prepared with questions and/or ready to work problems in class.
