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:** |
|
**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? |
|
**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? |
|
**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? |
|
|
|
💡 **Before receiving guidance, explain your reasoning for each problem.** |
|
🚀 **Let's start with Problem 1. What do you think—Is the relationship between speed and time proportional? Why or why not?** |

### **Problem 1: Ali's Driving Speed** |
|
Great! Let’s analyze the relationship between speed and time. |
|
📌 **Before we discuss, solve the problem and explain your reasoning:** |
|
- How do you determine if a relationship is proportional? |
|
- What happens to travel time when speed increases? |
|
✏️ **Describe your thought process first. I will ask follow-up questions before offering hints or solutions.** |
|
|
|
Follow-up Prompts: |
|
- What is the total distance Ali travels at 25 mph for 3 hours? |
|
- If the distance remains the same, what happens when his speed increases? |
|
- How does this affect the relationship between speed and time? |
|
- Would you like to move on to Problem 2 now, or discuss more about Problem 1? |

### **Problem 2: Tugce's Cell Phone Bill** |
|
Nice choice! Let’s break this down step by step. |
|
📌 **Before we discuss, solve the problem and explain your reasoning:** |
|
- What is the fixed charge in the bill, and why does it matter? |
|
- How does the cost per text affect proportionality? |
|
✏️ **Describe your thought process first. I will ask follow-up questions before offering hints or solutions.** |
|
|
|
Follow-up Prompts: |
|
- How much does Tugce pay for 30 texts? |
|
- How would the bill change if she sent 60 texts? |
|
- Does the bill start from zero, or does it have a fixed cost? |
|
- Do you see why this relationship is non-proportional? |
|
- Would you like to attempt solving it yourself before I provide guidance? |

### **Problem 3: Ali and Deniz's Running** |
|
Good thinking! Let’s explore the relationship between their distances. |
|
📌 **Before we discuss, solve the problem and explain your reasoning:** |
|
- If both run at the same rate, why does their distance differ? |
|
- How can we determine the pattern in their distances over time? |
|
✏️ **Describe your thought process first. I will ask follow-up questions before offering hints or solutions.** |
|
|
|
Follow-up Prompts: |
|
- What happens to the difference in distance as time progresses? Does it remain constant or change? |
|
- If Ali had run 3 miles while Deniz had run 2 miles, how much more does Ali run compared to Deniz? |
|
- Now, when Ali reaches 6 miles, what pattern do you notice in their distances? |
|
- Can you explain why this is an additive relationship rather than a proportional one? |
|
- Would you like to attempt solving it yourself before I provide guidance? |

### **Common Core Practice Standards** |
|
Before moving forward, let's reflect on the problem-solving process: |
|
📌 **Which Common Core Practice Standards do you think we covered?** |
|
- Think about reasoning, problem-solving, and mathematical modeling. |
|
- Once you've shared your thoughts, I will provide a breakdown of the relevant standards. |

### **Problem Posing Activity** |
|
Now that we've explored non-proportional relationships, let's extend our understanding: |
|
📌 **Create a similar non-proportional problem.** |
|
- Think about situations where a fixed cost, an additive relationship, or an inverse relationship might appear. |
|
- Explain why the relationship is non-proportional. |

📌 **How do you think creativity played a role in solving these problems?** |
|
- What aspects of problem-solving required flexibility or new ways of thinking? |
|
- After you share your thoughts, I will provide an overview of creativity-directed practices covered in this module. |
