  • Understand that tables of equivalent ratios represent proportional relationships between the two corresponding quantities.
  • Understand relationships between rows and between columns in tables of values that represent proportional relationships.
  • Understand and use the terms proportional relationship and constant of proportionality.
  • Identify the constant of proportionality for a proportional relationship represented by a table.
I will know I learned by...
  • Demonstrating that I know what it means for two figures to have the same area.
  • Being able to explain how to find the area of a figure that is composed of other shapes.
  • Demonstrating that I know how to find the area of a figure by decomposing it and rearranging the parts.

For example, you might write “30 minutes is 1212 hour.”You can use the numbers and units more than once.1120.460501212400.01313313300.324151562centimetermeterhourfeetminuteinchThere is a proportional relationship between any length measured in centimeters and the same length measured in millimeters.There are two ways of thinking about this proportional relationship.
  1. If you know the length of something in centimeters, you can calculate its length in millimeters.
    • Complete the table.
    • What is the constant of proportionality?
length (cm)length (mm)
