In this unit, students will learn about proportional relationships, the places where proportional relationships appear, and the different ways they can be viewed and studied. In doing so, they should understand and use the terms “proportional,” “constant of proportionality,” and “proportional relationship,” and recognize when a relationship is or is not proportional.
This unit provides multiple representations of proportional relationships, including tables, equations, and graphs. These representations and terms are offered as students reason about situations that involve constant speed, unit pricing, and measurement conversions.
