In Module 1, students build upon their Grade 6 reasoning about ratios, rates, and unit rates to formally define proportional relationships and the constant of proportionality. In Topic A, students examine situations carefully to determine if they are describing a proportional relationship. Their analysis is applied to relationships given in tables, graphs, and verbal descriptions.

Using the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts website, students explore the sculptural work of 20th Century Conceptual artist Sol LeWitt to expand their understanding of geometric concepts, creatively play with mathematical ideas, and be inspired to make art of their own.

The website page provides a scaffolded approach to exploring Sol LeWitt's sculpture titled "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6." culminating in a challenge for students to build a 3-D Tinkercad model of a geometry concept of their own choosing.

This task focuses on using rate language and developing the context of unit rates.  It also focuses on having students look at multiple strategies for solving ratios and encourages a teacher facilitated discussion of these different strategies.
