Gr 6 Unit 7 Proportions

Unit 7 Proportions

Content Emphasis/ Big Ideas

In this unit, students build a conceptual understanding of proportional relationships and unit rates. Students make connections between various representations such as verbal descriptions, ratio tables, and graphs. Students will explore proportional relationships in practical situations by using ratio tables. The use of ratio tables is to help students develop a conceptual understanding of the multiplicative relationship of proportions. Students will also visually represent proportional relationships using graphs. The use of tables and graphs builds students prealgebra skills as proportional relationships helps develop the understanding of the slope of a line which will be explored further in Mathematics 7.
