Introducing Proportional Relationships with Tables

Warmup

Activity #1

Introducing Proportions.

A bakery uses 8 tablespoons of honey for every 10 cups of flour to make bread dough. Some days they bake bigger or smaller batches, but they always use the same ratio of honey to flour.

• Complete the table and answer the questions.

(1.) How many cups of flour do they use with 20 tablespoons of honey?

(2.) How many cups of flour do they use with 13 tablespoons of honey?

(3.) How many tablespoons of honey do they use with 20 cups of flour?

(4.) What is the proportional relationship represented by this table?

Activity #2

More Proportions.

4 quarters are equal in value to 10 dimes.

• Complete the table and answer the questions below.

(1.) How many dimes equal the value of 6 quarters?

(2.) How many dimes equal the value of 14 quarters?

(3.) What value belongs next to the 1 in the table? What does it mean in this context?

Activity #3

Compare Shapes.

Here are four different crescent moon shapes.

• Look at the applet to answer the questions below.

(1.) What do Moons A, B, and C all have in common that Moon D doesn’t?

(2.) Use numbers to describe how Moons A, B, and C are different from Moon D.

(3.) Can you make one moon cover another by changing its size?

(4.) What does that tell you about its dimensions?
