| 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?" | |
