Constant of Proportionality: This is a mathematical concept that states that two variables are in direct proportion to each other, meaning that when one of the variables changes, the other changes in the same ratio. Inverse Variation: This is when two variables are inversely related, which means that when one of the variables increases, the other decreases in the same ratio. Direct Variation: This is when two variables are directly related, which means that when one of the variables increases, the other also increases in the same ratio.

The constant of proportionality is sometimes referred to as the 'slope' of a line and is used to calculate the rate of change for a linear equation. In mathematics, the constant of proportionality is also known as the 'coefficient of proportionality'. The constant of proportionality can be used to calculate the speed of objects moving in a straight line.

Question: You are a 7th grade math teacher. You want to help your students learn about the constant of proportionality. What can you do? Clues: • A constant of proportionality is a number that describes how two related measurements change in relation to each other. • It can be written as “y is directly proportional to x.” • It can also be written as y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality. In pairs: Select and solve one of the tasks: A. Create a drawing to show a situation in which two related measurements change in relation to each other. B. Explain how the constant of proportionality can be used to find one of the measurements if you know the other.
