Know Before You Start: Students should be familiar with proportional quantities prior to this lesson. This lesson could be used as a formative assessment to gauge student understanding of proportional quantities.
Hook:
- Have students turn to a partner and explain how they know if two quantities are proportional. Share several responses to check for understanding.
Activity:
-
Have students choose one of the sample comic panels and respond to the following:
-
If they are proportional, explain and justify how you know.
-
If they are not proportional, explain and justify how you know and provide a number that would make the relationship proportional.
-
Use a caption at the top of you comic to denote which sample comic you are referring to (1 or 2).
-
- Have students create a comic explaining whether or not the two quantities in the sample they chose are proportional.
Closure:
- As a class, have students decide which sample comic panel is proportional and which is not.
Differentiation:
- Allow students to use the speech-to-text feature.
- Allow students to use the voiceover feature to read their comics aloud.
- Provide sentence frames or key words as needed.
- Allow students to work with a partner.
