Lesson 2: Proportional Relationships • Exercise 1 • During Jose’s physical education class today, students visited activity stations. Next to each station was a chart depicting how many Calories (on average) would be burned by completing the activity. • a. Is the number of Calories burned proportional to time? How do you know? • b. If Jose jumped rope for 6.5 minutes, how many calories would he expect to burn?
Lesson 2: Proportional Relationships • If each of the measures in the second quantity is divided by its corresponding measure in the first quantity and it produces the same number, called a constant, then the two quantities are proportional to each other. • Closing • How do we know if two quantities are proportional to each other? • Two quantities are proportional to each other if there is one constant number that is multiplied by each measure in the first quantity to give the corresponding measure in the second quantity. • How can we recognize a proportional relationship when looking at a table or a set of ratios?
Lessons 3-4: Identifying Proportional and Non-Proportional Relationships in Tables Lesson 3 Opening Exercise: You have been hired by your neighbor to babysit their children Friday night.

Conclusion of Topic A Take a few moments to reflect upon how you will be able to promote successful implementation of these lessons in your classroom, school, district, and/or BOCES? What do you think teachers would need to know?
Topic Opener In Topic B, students learn to identify the constant of proportionality by finding the unit rate in the collection of equivalent ratios. They represent this relationship with equations of the form y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality (7.RP.2, 7.RP.2c). In Lessons 8 and 9, students derive the constant of proportionality from the description of a real world context and relate the equation representing the relationship to a corresponding ratio table and/or graphical representation (7.RP.2b, 7.EE.4). Topic B concludes with students consolidating their graphical understandings of proportional relationships as they interpret the meanings of the points (0,0) and (1, r), where r is the unit rate, in terms of the situation or context of a given problem (7.RP.2d).
Lesson 7: Unit Rate as the Constant of Proportionality Haven’t we already learned about the Constant of Proportionality? Why is this lesson here?
Lesson 7: Unit Rate as the Constant of Proportionality Closing Questions What is another name for the number that relates the measures of two quantities? (How do I get from x to y?) How is the Constant of Proportionality related to the unit rate?
Lesson 7: Unit Rate as the Constant of Proportionality Exit Ticket Susan and John are buying cold drinks for a neighborhood picnic, where each person is expected to drink 1 can of soda. Susan says that if you multiply the unit price for a can of soda by the number of people attending the picnic, you will be able to determine the total cost of the soda. John says that if you divide the cost of a 12-pack of soda by the number of sodas, you will be able to determine the total cost of the sodas. Who is right and why?

Biggest Takeaway • What is your biggest takeaway from this session? Think for just 1 minute. • “Whip Around” the table to share.
Key Points • Lessons are designed for students to be active learners. Teacher questioning guides students to explore ideas, investigate natural questions, and develop the big ideas that are the focus of the module. They are uncovering the story. • Students use the study of ratios in Grade 6 as a foundation to examine the characteristics of a proportional relationship in Grade 7. • Students make connections between multiple representations of proportional relationships (verbal, diagram, table, graph) using each one to develop a deeper understanding of what really make a proportional relationship.
