Direct Proportion
Investigating relationships where quantities vary directly, including graphical representations and finding the constant of proportionality.
Key Questions
- Analyze how a constant of proportionality impacts the relationship between two variables.
- Predict the outcome of changing one variable in a directly proportional relationship.
- Construct a real-world scenario that demonstrates direct proportionality.

5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
