Objective

Students will be able to collaborate effectively in a small group to create a proportional relationship model.

Materials Needed

Procedure

  1. Begin the lesson by reviewing the concept of proportional relationships with the students. Give examples of real-life situations where proportional relationships are used.
  2. Divide the class into groups of three or four.
  3. Provide each group with grid paper and colored pencils.
  4. Instruct the groups to choose a real-life situation and create a proportional relationship model using the grid paper and colored pencils.
  5. Explain to the students that they will need to use calculations to determine the proportional relationship in their model.
  6. Encourage the students to collaborate with one another to ensure that each member of the group understands the concept and is able to contribute to the project.
  7. Once the groups have completed their models, have them share their models and explain their proportional relationships to the class.
  8. After each group has presented, have a class discussion about the different types of proportional relationships that were shown in the models.
  9. Close the lesson by reviewing the importance of collaboration and teamwork in solving real-life problems.

Assessment

Assess the students' understanding of the concept of proportional relationships and their ability to collaborate effectively by grading their completed models and their presentations to the class.

Extension Activity

For an extension activity, have the students create a second proportional relationship model using different materials, such as Legos, clay, or paper mache. This will allow the students to work on their creativity and problem-solving skills while also reinforcing their understanding of proportional relationships.
