The purpose of the Relaying Ratios Project was to offer students an innovative mathematical and scientific activity that challenges English Language Learners to describe the process of finding a ratio using academic vocabulary.  Students gained the abillity to communicate like a mathematician, use hands-on learning to acquire mathematical language and encourage sharing of one’s own cultural identity with others of a different culture. It was also a great opporutnity for students to develop skills to communicate in a second or third language effectively.  Most of all, the project increased the accessibility to science equipment for students to use far into the future.
