This 7th grade Math parent guide explains the content in straightforward terms so they can support their children’s learning at home and will encourage caretaker engagement with lessons.

Our Teacher Guides are meant to support the use of our online course and unit content. Please use these to accompany the use of our content and for ideas to support struggling learners, those needing extension and for additional resources.

In this lesson, students examine situations to decide whether two quantities are proportional to each other by checking for a constant multiple between measures of x and measures of y when given in a table. Students study examples of relationships that are not proportional in addition to those that are.

In this lesson, students examine situations to decide whether two quantities are proportional to each other by checking for a constant multiple between measures of x and measures of y when given in a table or when required to create a table. Students study examples of relationships that are not proportional in addition to those that are.

Students will use global information obtained in previous lessons; such as poverty levels, to calculate percent change. Students will develop an understanding "Percent Change" and how to calculate it using proportions. This lesson was developed by Elizabeth Hicks as part of their completion of the North Carolina Global Educator Digital Badge program. This lesson plan has been vetted at the local and state level for standards alignment, Global Education focus, and content accuracy.

The lesson will allow students to work collaboratively to develop and individually to develop an understanding of living in poverty. They will research, investigate, and discuss how the national poverty level is calculated. While examining poverty on the local and national level, they will be given the opportunity to use percentages in their calculations. This lesson was developed by Elizabeth Hicks as part of their completion of the North Carolina Global Educator Digital Badge program. This lesson plan has been vetted at the local and state level for standards alignment, Global Education focus, and content accuracy.

For this interactive, students determine if the values in the table are proportional. Students enter an answer and can click the Check Answer button to see if their answer is correct.

Sample Learning Goals
Use a ratio as a descriptive characteristic
Compare the meaning of a ratio in different contexts
Use scaling to build proportions or find a missing value in a proportion
Simplify ratios to build proportions or find a missing value in a proportion
Use multiplicative reasoning to solve problems

In this lesson, students understand that two quantities are proportional to each other when there exists a constant (number) such that each measure in the first quantity multiplied by this constant gives the corresponding measure in the second quantity. When students identify the measures in the first quantity with x and the measures in the second quantity with y, they will recognize that the second quantity is proportional to the first quantity if y=kx for some positive number k. They apply this same relationship when using variable choices other than x and y.

Sample Learning Goals
Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two hand heights.
Understand the concept of a unit rate a/b associated with a ratio a:b, and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship.
Recognize and represent proportional relationships between hand heights.

In this lesson, students decide whether two quantities are proportional to each other by graphing on a coordinate plane and observing whether the graph is a straight line through the origin. Students study examples of quantities that are proportional to each other as well as those that are not.

In this lesson, students examine situations carefully to decide whether two quantities are proportional to each other by graphing on a coordinate plane and observing whether all the points would fall on a line that passes through the origin. Students study examples of relationships that are not proportional as well as those that are.
