Proportional Relationships 3-of-a-Kind CARD SORT

Proportional Relationships 3-of-a-Kind CARD SORT

Educators seeking to develop their student's understanding of the Grade 7 Ratio and Proportional Relationships Standards need look no further than the Proportional Relationships 3-of-a-kind CARD SORT. This valuable teaching tool has been carefully designed to help students identify and reinforce concepts surrounding proportional relationships, using a unique card sorting exercise.

1. This resource specifically addresses CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.RP.A.2.A through enabling students to determine whether two quantities are in a proportional relationship; for example, by testing for equivalent ratios in a table or graphing on a coordinate plane and observing whether resulting graphs run in a straight line through the origin.
2. It also meets CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.RP.A.2.B's requirements by enabling students to identify the proportional constant –or unit rate– within various formats including tables, graphs, equations, diagrams and verbal descriptions of proportional relationships.
3. In addition, supplementary materials will provide support for CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.RP.A.2.C standards as they let represent the demonstrated proportional relationships mathematically.

The resource is composed of several elements that aid understanding:

• The centerpiece is a set of 36 '3-of-a-Kind' cards presenting various table diagrams and word problems with three different components – each with an identical constant of proportionality. Students are encouraged to match one format from each group (Table, Graph or Word problem) with their corresponding equation demonstrating their understanding on equation representation of proportional relationships.
• This product comes with an option for Google Slides activity access which emulates physical version enhancing utility towards daily lessons even during remote learning periods or individual study time at home when physical handling is waning accommodations required.
• An explicit Answer Key provided ensures teachers have immediate reference available streamlining assessment snapshots progression indicators identifying areas needing further intervention whilst simultaneously reinforcing confidence successfully understood concepts among students.

The resource is in PDF format, targeting at seventh-grade Math students. Although primarily designed for Algebra subtopics, its versatile nature means that educators can incorporate this resource in diverse teaching strategies. It could be utilized for whole groups to stimulate collaborative work, small group settings for focused attention or simply as a homework assignment ensuring distributed practice towards concept mastery.

This resource contains:

1) Proportional Relationships “3-of-a-Kind” CARD SORT

•36 proportional relationships sorted into groups of 3 (Table, Graph, Word Problem) in which each item has the same constant of proportionality

•Students match one of each format to the correct equation, or match them to each other and then write the equation that represents each group (the answer boards come in two different versions—1 with equations listed and 1 without).

2) Links to the same activity made for Google Slides (both versions included)

3) Answer Key
