Class Mission Statement
o Discuss the importance of a mission; connect with
learning requirements and smart goal.
o On 3 separate chart papers write the following questions
 Why are we here?
 What do we have to well together?
 How will we make that happen?
o Each student will be given 3 sticky notes, they will be
given time to write a response to each question and the
put their sticky note on the corresponding chart paper.
o Students gallery walk to see other student responses
 Have a student summarize each question
o In their groups of four, students will generate a mission,
they will then share their missions with the class.
 What do our missions have in common?
 Is there anything missing?
 What is a must have in our mission?
o Collect missions-I will review and generate one class
mission.
Unit Rates as the Constant of Proportionality (Module 1, Lesson 7)
 Example: National Forest Deer Population in Danger?
o Students will link the concept of a unit rate, to the
constant of proportionality.
 Discuss Key Vocabulary: Constant/Variable
 Partner Work: Student complete example 2, “You Need What?”
o Discuss methods and strategies
 Group work: Students complete example 3, “French Class Cooking”
o Discuss methods and strategies
 Closing: What is another name for the constant that relates the
measures of two quantities? How is the Constant of
Proportionality related to the unit rate?

Representing Proportional Relationships with Equations (Module 1,
Lesson 8)
 Discussion: How could we use what we know about the constant
of proportionality to write an equation?
 Example 1: Do we have enough gas to make it to the gas station?
o Discussion point: remind students to think of the constant
of proportionality as 𝑘=y/𝑥.
o Discussion point: tell students that this equation models
the situation and will provide us with a way to determine
either variable when the other is known.

d. Explain what a
point (x, y) on the
graph of a
proportional
relationship means in
terms of the
situation, with
special attention to
the points (0, 0) and
(1, r) where r is the
unit rate.


to represent

they relate the
equations to a

Example 2: Andrea’s Portraits
o Work in pairs to determine equations; students will then
discuss their results.
Closing: How can unit rate be used to write an equation relating
two variables that are proportional?
Representing Proportional Relationships with Equations (Module 1,
Lesson 9)
 Example 1: Jackson’s Birdhouses
o Define the variables.
o Discussion Point: Does it matter which of these variables
is independent or dependent?
o Discussion Point: If it is important to determine the
number of birdhouses that can be built in one hour, what
is the constant of proportionality?
o Discussion Point: If it is important to determine the
number of hours it takes to build one birdhouse, what is
the constant of proportionality?
o Be sure to discuss non-integer answers; what a portion of
an hour will mean in the context of this situation.
 Example 2: Al’s Produce Stand
o Reinforce same discussion points with example 2
o Students will share out their solution pathways
 Closing:
o What type of relationship can be modeled using an
equation in the form 𝑦 = 𝑘𝑥, and what do you need to
know to write an equation in this form?
o Give an example of a real-world relationship that can be
modeled using this type of equation and explain why.
o How do you determine which value is 𝑥 (independent)
and which value is 𝑦 (dependent)?
 Quiz: Covers lessons 7-9
Interpreting Graphs of Proportional Relationships(Module 1, Lesson
10)
 Example 1: Grandma’s Special Chocolate-Chip Cookie recipe,
which yields 4 dozen cookies, calls for 3 cups of flour to make 4
dozen cookies.
o Students work independently to complete a table, unit
rate, and graph for the given problem.
