Mathematical Practice(s):
SMP.1 Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
SMP.2 Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
SMP.3 Model with mathematics.
SMP.7 Look for an make use of structure.
Explain the grouping structure (i.e., individual, partner, group) and the reasoning for this
decision?
The students will be working individually. The activity will be used as a launch to a lesson where
the students use what they have learned about single linear relationships and make connections
between multiple linear relationships. This will help us assess what each student took away about
the structure of a linear graph and how it relates to the real world and what connections they
make between the representations of multiple linear relationships.
Goal(s) of Activity (i.e., Students will be able to and I canThese should include
mathematical content and process learning goals.)
Students will be able to identify that the point (1,r) in a proportional graph and use that unit rate
to create a real life scenario that could be modeled by the graph they are given. I can use the
context of the problem to decide where a graph and table starts. I can use a graph to determine
and rank rates of change.
made them think of. I will write questions asking how much thinking their problem requires. I
will ask what ways they can increase the amount of thinking needed to solve their problem. The
purpose of the feedback is to get the students to think about the process of noticing structure in
the graphs and making connections between the graphs and the real world. The feedback should
make the students think about how the demands of the question make the person think. Is their
question something that can be directly seen and answered or do they have to dig for connections
within the structure of the graph and then make connections to the real world.

Directions: Create a word problem where the provided graph can be used as a solution method.
Be sure to incorporate all the linear relationships on the graph in your problem. If you are using
information from the graph which is not explicitly stated, please include an explanation of how
you gathered that information.
