This is a remix of "Comparing Speeds in Graphs and Equations" by Illustrative Mathematics. The activity can be used to introduce the characteristics of direct variations. There is also a link to a direct and inverse variation foldable.

English Instructional Plan Comparing and Contrasting Details in Texts 6 Primary Strand: Reading 6.5 Integrated Strand/s: Communication and Multimodal Literacies 6.1
In this unit students dive into the world of Greek mythology. Over the course of the unit students will read the classic myths of Pandora, Arachne, and Echo and Narcissus. In reading the myths, students will gain a deeper understanding of the gods and mortals in ancient Greece and how the ancient Greeks used mythology as a way to make sense of and interpret the world around them. Students will also continue the thematic exploration from previous units about how a person's beliefs, ethics, or values influence that person's behavior.
Over the course of the unit, students will read multiple versions of the classic myths. The primary focus of this unit is on close reading and analyzing the differences among the versions and critically analyzing an author's choice of genre. In doing so, students will be challenged to think about how the structural elements of different genres, particularly prose, drama, and verse, allow a reader to better understand a story or text. Students will also explore how the point of view in which a story is written, either third-person point of view or first-person point of view, changes the way a story is told and the depth of information that a reader knows. Another focus of this unit is determining the central theme of the myths. Because the stories in this unit are shorter than the novels students have read so far, this unit offers students practice in finding the theme of a shorter text and explaining how the author uses evidence to develop the theme.
In this lesson, students will be given the opportunity to identify whether objects are solids, liquids, or gasses, based on the attributes of each object.
The resource is helpful for students to practice understanding the differences between the three major American civilizations.
Students will build on their knowledge for comparing and contrasting story elements to analyze sets of items and compare and contrast the attributes that led to the development of the set. Students can use additional attributes to categorize sets into subsets.
Within this interactive lesson, students will navigate and explore comparing positive and negative fractions, deicmals, and percents through Desmos. Students will also gain practice from finding equivalencies, using picture representations and number lines, and through mathematical discourse. Students will be able to do the following:Use a number line to sort, compare, and order integers, fractions, decimals, and percents.Compare integers, fractions, decimals, and percents.Order integers, fractions, decimals, and percents.

Students will create their own sets of numbers to order in this whole group activity.
Teachers will give out cards to students and have them practice comparing and ordering real numbers.
Ordering real numbers practice
Introduction:The atmosphere consists of many different layers that each have unique characteristics. Other things in day to day life also consist of layers that have unique characteristics, like beds, burritos, and sandwiches. Task: Draw a picture to compare the layers of Earth’s atmosphere to something else that has layers. For example, you could draw a cheeseburger and write “The lettuce on the cheeseburger is like the Mesosphere, because they are both the coldest layers.”
Explore a NetLogo model of populations of rabbits, grass, and weeds. First, adjust the model to start with a different rabbit population size. Then adjust model variables, such as how fast the plants or weeds grow, to get more grass than weeds. Change the amount of energy the grass or weeds provide to the rabbits and the food preference. Use line graphs to monitor the effects of changes you make to the model, and determine which settings affect the proportion of grass to weeds when rabbits eat both.
Performing complex number arithmetic Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the 2016 Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.
This resource includes a Khan Academy video, two truths and a lie activity, and a follow-up review game.
These activities include a video and Desmos activity to help students understand complex numbers.
