1.  Warm-up:  Find the unit rate of the following situations

a)  Alex delivers newspapers to save money for college.  He earns $2.75 for every 15 minutes of work.

b)  Frozen yogurt at Jell E. Bean's yogurt shop costs $33 for 6 pounds of yogurt.

c)  Ms. Rickard bought a new Toyota RAV4.  She drove 280 miles using 8 gallons of gas.

**Challenge:  How many miles could Ms. Rickard drive using 15 gallons of gas?


2.  Mini-lesson:  Generate a rule (equation) for proportional relationships

• I want to know how far Ms. Rickard can drive for ANY amount of gas.  We need to create a rule that will tell us this information quickly
• k · x = y
• k --> unit rate
• x --> independent variable
• y --> dependent variable

3.  Now you try:  Write an equation for parts a) and b) from the warm-up

• Challenge #1:  Use your equation to find out how much money Alex will earn if he works for 50 hours.
• Challenge #2:  Use your equation to find out how much yogurt a customer could get with $8.40

4.  Begin team projects:

• Create a Proportions Web for your assigned problem (situation, unit rate, table, graph, rule)
• Explain how the unit rate can be found in each of the different representations
• What connections can you see between the different representations?
