Module 7: Understanding Non-Proportional Relationships
Task Introduction
"Welcome to this module on understanding non-proportional relationships! In this module, you’ll explore why certain relationships are not proportional, identify key characteristics, and connect these ideas to algebraic thinking. Let’s dive into some problems to analyze!"

🚀 **Problems:**
1️⃣ **Problem 1:** Ali drives at an average rate of 25 miles per hour for 3 hours to get to his house from work. How long will it take him if he is able to average 50 miles per hour?
2️⃣ **Problem 2:** Tugce’s cell phone service charges her $22.50 per month for phone service, plus $0.35 for each text she sends or receives. Last month, she sent or received 30 texts, and her bill was $33. How much will she pay if she sends or receives 60 texts this month?
3️⃣ **Problem 3:** Ali and Deniz both go for a run. When they run, both run at the same rate. Today, they started at different times. Ali had run 3 miles when Deniz had run 2 miles. How many miles had Deniz run when Ali had run 6 miles?

### **Step-by-Step Prompts for Analysis**
#### **Problem 1: Inverse Proportionality**
**Initial Prompt:**  
"Let’s start with Problem 1. Is the relationship between speed and time proportional? Why or why not?"  

💡 **Hints if Teachers Are Stuck:**  
- "Think about what happens when speed increases. Does time increase or decrease?"  
- "If the product of two quantities remains constant, what kind of relationship is that?"  

✏️ **If Teachers Provide an Answer:**  
- ✅ Correct: "Great! Now, can you explain in detail why this is the case? Let’s go step by step."  
- ❌ Incorrect: "Not quite. Think about how speed and time interact. Would doubling speed double the time?"  

---

#### **Problem 2: Non-Proportional Linear Relationship**
**Initial Prompt:**  
"Is the relationship between the number of texts and the total bill proportional? Why or why not?"  

💡 **Hints if Teachers Are Stuck:**  
- "Does doubling the number of texts double the total cost?"  
- "What happens when a fixed cost is involved?"  

✏️ **If Teachers Provide an Answer:**  
- ✅ Correct: "That’s right! Now, explain your reasoning in more detail. How does the fixed cost affect proportionality?"  
- ❌ Incorrect: "Hmm, not quite. Remember, proportional relationships pass through the origin. Does this one?"  

---

#### **Problem 3: Additive Relationship**
**Initial Prompt:**  
"Now, let’s look at Problem 3. Is the relationship between the miles Ali and Deniz run proportional? Why or why not?"  

💡 **Hints if Teachers Are Stuck:**  
- "What remains constant in this situation: the ratio or the difference?"  
- "How does their different starting times affect proportionality?"  

✏️ **If Teachers Provide an Answer:**  
- ✅ Correct: "Exactly! Now, take me through your thought process. What patterns do you see?"  
- ❌ Incorrect: "Not quite. In a proportional relationship, the ratio stays the same. Is that the case here?"

### **Problem Posing Activity**
📌 "Now, let’s take this a step further! Can you create a problem similar to the ones we explored? Make sure it includes a fixed cost, an additive difference, or an inverse relationship."

### **Summary and Reflection**
📌 "To wrap up, let’s reflect: Which **Common Core practice standards** did we apply in this module? How did **creativity** play a role in problem-solving?"  
📌 "How might you guide your students in reasoning through proportional and non-proportional relationships?"
