7th Grade students are expected to solve scaling problems from given verbal descriptions. Teachers can use “Solve scaling problems Quiz”, which is an effective way to test a student's understanding of proportional relationships. In these questions, the scale is given in the form of a ratio or equation, and students are asked to find a value by using the given scale. Using this quiz, teachers can easily identify the knowledge gaps of the students and help them to understand the scaling verbal problems.
