DESCRIPTION

Proportional Reasoning How Do You Know? January 10, 2012. Connie Laughlin Hank Kepner Rosann Hollinger Kevin McLeod Mary Mooney Heath Garland. We are learning to…. deepen our understanding of proportionality and its application. We will know we are successful when. - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

TRANSCRIPT

1

deepen our understanding of proportionality and its application.

2

we can explain when two quantities are in or not in a proportional relationship.

we can use proportional relationships to solve multistep ratio and percent problems.

3

Does the conclusion make sense? Make a convincing argument to your peers about the quantities being in or not in a proportional relationship.

What distinguishes those that make

sense from those that don’t make sense?

4

Superficial cues present in the context of a problem do not provide sufficient evidence of proportional relationships between quantities.

5

#1 Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.

#3 Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.

#6 Attend to precision.

6

You put a measuring cup under a dripping faucet. The measuring cup had 6 ounces in it to begin with. You come back in 8 minutes and notice that there are now 10 ounces in the measuring cup. How many ounces will be in the measuring cup after 17 minutes?

Is there a proportional relationship?If so, identify the two quantities.If not, explain why not.

7

One man can paint a bedroom by himself in 3 hours. How long will it take two men to paint the room if both men paint at the same pace?

Is there a proportional relationship?If so, identify the two quantities.If not, explain why not.

8

Ratios and Proportional Relationships

Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems.7.RP.2 Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities.a. Decide whether two quantities are in a proportional relationship.
