Learning goals: Sub-Unit 1: Proportional Relationships in Tables (Lessons 1–3) • Use tables to recognize proportional relationships. • Determine a constant of proportionality from a table. • Describe the relationship between values in a table using terms such as proportional, non-proportional, and constant of proportionality. Sub-Unit 2: Proportional Relationships in Equations (Lessons 4–7 + Practice Day + Quiz) • Write and use equations to describe proportional relationships. • Determine a constant of proportionality from an equation. • Describe relationships represented with equations using terms such as proportional, non-proportional, and constant of proportionality. Sub-Unit 3: Proportional Relationships in Graphs (Lessons 8–10) • Use graphs to recognize proportional relationships. • Determine a constant of proportionality from a graph. • Describe relationships represented with graphs using terms such as proportional, non-proportional, and constant of proportionality. Sub-Unit 4: Using Proportional Relationships (Lessons 11–13 + Practice Day) • Use proportional relationships to solve real-world and mathematical problems. • Interpret different representations of a proportional relationship to make sense of a situation in context.
