Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems.
1.
Compute unit rates associated with ratios of fractions, including ratios of lengths, areas and other quantities measured in like or different units. For example, if a person walks 1/2 mile in each 1/4 hour, compute the unit rate as the complex fraction 1/2/1/4 miles per hour, equivalently 2 miles per hour.
 
  • Approximate unit rates from verbal descriptions
    In this LearnZillion lesson, students will learn how to approximate unit rates from verbal descriptions and equations by estimating.
  • Equations from Unit Rates
    This lesson involves finding a linear equation and confirming the equation represents a proportional relationship with numeric values in ordered pairs or in functions tables.
  • Find the best deal by comparing unit rates
    In this lesson students will learn how to find the best deal by comparing unit rates.
  • Find unit rates in situations involving fractions
    In this LearnZillion lesson students will learn how to find unit rates in situations involving fractions by using division.
  • Holes
    After watching a clip of the movie Holes from Walt Disney Pictures students will answer a series of questions, such as "If Stanley and X-Ray both dig one hole per day for a year, how much extra dirt will Stanley have dug than X-Ray?" and "How many times could that extra dirt fill one of the holes X-Ray digs?"
  • Ratios and Proportional Relationships Curriculum Guide
    The Utah State Office of Education (USOE) and educators around the state of Utah developed these guides for Mathematics Grade 7 Cluster "Analyze Proportional Relationships and Use Them to Solve Real-World and Mathematical Problems." / Standards 1, 2 and 3.
  • Scale recipes by applying unit rates
    In this lesson students will learn how to scale recipes by applying unit rates.
  • Using unit rates to interpret scale maps and scale models
    In this LearnZillion lesson, students will learn how to apply scale maps and scale models by using unit rates.
  • What's My Ratio?
    In this lesson students investigate proportionality by using linear measurement. They also find the ratio between similar figures.
