Vocabulary Words
Instructions
Play through this interactive game to learn about Points on a Graph of a Proportional Relationship. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.
Main Concepts
Discussion Questions
Before the Game
What are rates and ratios? What is the difference between rates and ratios? Can you provide an example of each? How does a table show the relationship between numbers? What are some other ways that we can represent data in order to determine the relationship among the numbers?
After the Game
If purple stinger ants can steal donuts at a ratio of 3 ants for every one donut, how many ants would it take to steal 4 donuts? Can you make a graph representing the purple stinger ant and its relationship to donuts? Is its relationship linear/proportional and how do you know? What is the slope/unit rate of this graph? How does knowing how to reduce fractions to their lowest terms help you to find the relationship, or ratio, of numbers? What are the two criteria that a graph must satisfy in order to be considered a proportional relationship? What strategies did you use in the game that helped you decide which ants and how many to deploy?
