Product description

From the author

This proportional relationship worksheet has a lot of graphs with varying scales. Students need to find slopes from graphs and draw their own graphs based on a given slope. There are also comparing tasks where students compare slopes of graphs and equations.

Answers are included.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Find the slope of a line from its graph

  • Draw a graph representing a given slope

  • Determine whether a relationship between two quantities is proportional

Teaching tips

  • Graph axis scales vary between items (some count by 1s, others by 5s or 10s), so have students check the axis increments before reading or plotting a slope.

Skills covered

  • Finding slope from a graph

  • Comparing proportional relationships in equation and graph form

  • Identifying proportional relationships

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

What should students check before reading a slope?

The axis scales vary between graphs. Read the labeled intervals before calculating the change in y divided by the change in x.
