A tiered lesson with practice problems to check for understanding, to assess for understanding on unit rate, proportional relationship, representing proportional relationships in a graph, a table, and an equation. Analyze and interpret proportional relationships. solve real world problems using rates, ratios, and unit rates.

This learning resource focuses on exploring proportional relationships, enabling students to identify and represent these relationships through various methods such as tables, graphs, and equations. It starts with a warm-up section involving quick review questions to assess prior knowledge of ratios and rates. Students then learn about unit rates through worked and faded examples, practicing calculating these rates with real-world contexts, such as pricing and travel speeds. The resource also includes guided practice for translating data from tables to graphs and formulating equations, along with scenarios for collaborative learning in expert groups. Additionally, it incorporates error analysis and reflection components, encouraging students to evaluate their understanding and strategies for solving problems related to rates and ratios.
