Direct Proportion

Students learn to model direct proportion using equations like y = kx. They find the constant k from data and use it to calculate unknown values.

Later, they apply these skills to solve word problems and correct errors in data sets, improving their real-world problem-solving abilities.

Differentiated Learning Objectives

All students should be able to identify directly proportional quantities from a table or simple context.

Most students should be able to find the constant k and use y = kx to calculate missing values.

Some students should be able to correct data errors and apply the model to multi-step problems.
