STEMteachersPHX: Relationship Status – Going from Proportional Reasoning to Linear Models

Extend the models built for proportional thinking to develop an understanding of relationships between two variables.

Extend the models built for proportional thinking to develop an understanding of relationships between two variables. Collect real-world data using low-cost materials. Develop representations (graphs, data tables, equations, and verbal explanations) to distinguish between linear and non-linear relationships. Interpret the meaning of representations by making connections between them. NOTE: Math materials shared will focus on 6th, 7th, and 8th grade standards for relationships leading to linear functions.
