Ratios and Proportional Relationships

In this unit, students will use multiple representations such as graphs, tables and equations to represent proportional relationships. By informally using the unit rate as a measurement of slope, students will recognize proportionality between quantities and distinguish proportional relationships from other types of relationships. Students will use ratios and proportionality to solve a wide variety of percent problems.

This unit was developed from the Common Core State Standards. For more information download the unit guide (on the right) where the specific content standard is identified. There may be other CCSS that align to the activities as well that are not referenced on the guide.
