Develop Understanding
Today's Learning Goal: (G6, U6, L16)
  • Compare and contrast (orally) graphs and equations that represent a relationship between the same quantities but have the independent and dependent variables switched.
  • Comprehend the terms “independent variable” and “dependent variable” (in spoken and written language).
  • Create a table, graph, and equation to represent the relationship between quantities in a set of equivalent ratios
Today's Materials:
  • Laptop
  • Laptop charger
  • Pen/Pencil/Paper/Expo Marker (optional)
Please complete the Jump Start (activator). You have 5 minutes before we review. This is independent it should be silent.
Reminders:
1. Ready for class
2. No cellphones
3. Volume must be low.
4. Read and follow all directions
5.) Take your bag off and immediately begin the Activator.

Here is a graph that shows some values for the number of cups of sugar, "s", required to make "x" batches of brownies.

Required
0

Complete the table so that the pair of numbers in each column represents the coordinates of a point on the graph.

Required
0

What does the point (8,4) mean in terms of the amount of sugar and number of batches of brownies?

Required
0

Write an equation that shows the amount of sugar in terms of the number of batches.

Kiran shops for books during a 20% off sale.
What percent of the original price of a book does Kiran pay during the sale?

Required
1

Complete the table to show how much Kiran pays for books during the sale.

Required
0

Write an equation that relates the sale price, s, to the original price p.

Required
1

On graph paper, create a graph showing the relationship between the sale price and the original price by plotting the points from the table.

Lin needs to mix a specific shade of orange paint for the set of the school play. The color uses 3 parts yellow for every 2 parts red.
Complete the table to show different combinations of red and yellow paint that will make the shade of orange Lin needs.

Required
0

Lin notices that the number of cups of red paint is always 2/5 of the total number of cups. She writes the equation:
to describe the relationship. Which is the independent variable? Which is the dependent variable? Explain how you know.

Required
1

Write an equation that describes the relationship between r and y where y is the independent variable.

Required
1

Write an equation that describes the relationship between y and r where r is the independent variable.

Required
1

Use the points in the table to create two graphs that show the relationship between r and y.

Lesson Synthesis: - (5 min)

Required
1

We wrote two equations to represent the relationship between cups of red paint and cups of yellow paint. How were these the same and how were they different?

Required

Cool Down: - (5 min)

A brownie recipe calls for 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of flour to make one batch of brownies. To make multiple batches, the equation
where f is the number of cups of flour and s is the number of cups of sugar represents the relationship.
Required
1

Which graph also represents the relationship? Explain how you know.
