Proportional Relationships - Second Edition (Grade 7)

This lesson set provides a study of Proportional Relationships. Students will learn to move from the grade 6 study of ratios and equations of the form px = q to the study of proportional relationships. They combine their previous understanding of the topics of both ratio and equation to examine tests that establish or refute the presence of a proportional relationship between two variables. Students will: 

• develop an understanding of proportional relationships;  
• make and confirm conjectures about tests for proportionality;  
• recognize proportional relationships visually when they are presented in equation or graphic form;  
• recognize proportional relationships in tables and contexts; and  
• articulate how to test for proportional relationships.
