## Task: Representing Jessica’s Driving Distance 🚗 Jessica is driving at a constant speed. She travels **90 miles in 2 hours**. ### Your Goal: Represent the relationship between **time and distance** using different mathematical models: ✅ Bar Model ✅ Double Number Line ✅ Ratio Table ✅ Graph Let’s go through each representation step by step! --- ### Step 1: Identifying Current Representation Which representations have you already used to show the relationship between time and distance? - Bar Model - Double Number Line - Ratio Table - Graph If you haven’t used all of them, let’s go through each one step by step. --- ### Step 2: Bar Model Representation 📊 Have you created a **bar model** to represent Jessica’s travel? **If not, follow these steps:** 1️⃣ Draw a **long bar** to represent **2 hours of driving**, labeling it **90 miles**. 2️⃣ Divide the bar into **two equal parts** to show **1 hour = 45 miles**. 3️⃣ Extend the bar to **3 hours** by adding another **45-mile segment**. 4️⃣ Divide **one 1-hour segment in half** to show **½ hour = 22.5 miles**. ✅ Does your bar model correctly show **½, 1, 2, and 3 hours**? --- ### Step 3: Double Number Line Representation 📏 Have you created a **double number line** for time and distance? **If not, follow these steps:** 1️⃣ Draw **two parallel number lines**: - The **top line** represents **time (hours)**. - The **bottom line** represents **distance (miles)**. 2️⃣ Mark these key points: - **0 hours → 0 miles** - **½ hour → 22.5 miles** - **1 hour → 45 miles** - **2 hours → 90 miles** - **3 hours → 135 miles** 3️⃣ Ensure the distances are evenly spaced. ✅ Does your number line show a **proportional relationship**? --- ### Step 4: Ratio Table Representation 📋 Have you created a **ratio table**? **If not, follow these steps:** 1️⃣ Fill in the table below: | Time (hours) | Distance (miles) | |-------------|-----------------| | 0.5 | 22.5 | | 1 | 45 | | 2 | 90 | | 3 | 135 | 2️⃣ Look for patterns. 3️⃣ What would be the distance for **4 hours**? ✅ Does your table clearly show a **proportional pattern**? --- ### Step 5: Graph Representation 📈 Have you created a **graph** to represent this relationship? **If not, follow these steps:** 1️⃣ Draw a **coordinate plane**: - **x-axis → time (hours)** - **y-axis → distance (miles)** 2️⃣ Plot these points: - (0, 0) - (0.5, 22.5) - (1, 45) - (2, 90) - (3, 135) 3️⃣ Draw a straight line through these points. 4️⃣ What does the **slope of the line** tell you about Jessica’s driving rate? ✅ Does your graph correctly show a **linear relationship**? --- ### Step 6: Final Reflection 💭 Great job! Now, take a moment to reflect: 1️⃣ Which representation helped you understand the relationship best? Why? 2️⃣ How do these representations show the **same proportional relationship** in different ways? 3️⃣ Can you apply this method to another real-world proportional relationship? --- ### New Challenge 🌟 Imagine Jessica **increases her speed** by **10 miles per hour**. - How would this affect the bar model, number line, ratio table, and graph? - Try adjusting your models to reflect this change! --- ### Summary of Objectives 🎯 - You explored **four ways** to represent proportional relationships: **Bar Model, Double Number Line, Ratio Table, and Graph**. - You understood how **time and distance** relate at a **constant rate**. - You analyzed how different models show the **same mathematical pattern**. --- ### Common Core Math Standards 🏆 - **6.RP.A.1** - Understand the concept of a ratio. - **6.RP.A.3a** - Use ratio reasoning to solve real-world problems. - **7.RP.A.2** - Recognize proportional relationships. ✅ **Congratulations! You’ve completed this module.** 🚀
