Points on a Graph of a Proportional Relationship Math Games

3 games

In this series of games, your students will learn how to explain what a point on the graph of a proportional relationship means. The Points on a Graph of a Proportional Relationship learning objective — based on CCSS and state standards — delivers improved student engagement and academic performance in your classroom, as demonstrated by research. This learning objective directly references 7.RP.A.2.d as written in the common core national math standards.

Concepts Covered

Ratios happen when there are two or more quantities related. Ratios can have the same units (ratios) or different units (rates). The term ratio can be used for same and different units as well.

Describe the context of what a point (x, y) refers to in a proportional relationship where the point (0, 0) refers to the fact that in a proportional relationship if one side = 0 then both sides = 0. Describe the context of what a point (x, y) refers to in a proportional relationship where the point (1, r) refers to the unit rate. The slope can be interpreted as the unit rate where vertical increments are compared to 1 unit of horizontal movement when calculating equivalent ratios.

Proportional Potions Estimated Duration: 18 minutes Learn about ratio and rates by creating potions! Learn about what it means for 2 values to be proportionate, how to change one value proportionate to another, how to read a graph of proportion, and what unit rate means in relation to a graph of proportion!

Queen Gilliant's Quest Estimated Duration: 25 minutes Prepare your army of ants to gather some food based on their proportional relationship with the amount of food they can get!

Ratio and Proportion - Discover Estimated Duration: 10 minutes Move the hands around the screen to explore the Challenge ratio. Use the options on the screen to help you form rules for finding the right ratio. Move onto the next challenge when you have figured it out. Challenge yourself to move the hands around the screen while keeping the ratio.

Ratio and Proportion - Create Estimated Duration: 10 minutes Create your own ratio Challenges. Choose a ratio and hide the Challenge to explore yourself or give to someone else. Challenge yourself to move the hands around the screen while keeping the ratio with different Challenge ratios.

Newton Pool Estimated Duration: 15 minutes The game consists of hand-crafted levels where the player controls a white ball. The goal of each level is to get the white ball to the end of the level in as few moves as possible, while racking up points by bumping golden balls into obstacles on the way! The game does not have any instructional math content, it simply has math review questions spread throughout.

Interpreting Graphs Estimated Duration: 4 minutes In this lesson, students will learn how to interpret and analyze graphs to extract meaningful information. Students will dissect coordinates and understand what each value represents in a real-world context. Additionally, students will connect their understanding of unit rate to what it represents in a graph. They will learn that the point where the x-value is 1 depicts the unit rate.

Galaxy Escape Estimated Duration: 20 minutes 10 Bright Monsters have been captured in space and they need your help to cross the galaxy jumping between platforms, finding them, and releasing them by correctly answering each question. Each monster that you release and unlock will be available to play with in the next level, in the search for the next monster. In your journey, you’ll be able to find power-ups, like ‘Double points’ and ‘Slow down’, which can be activated by finding gems, and their duration can be extended by correctly answering a question. Unlock and release the 10 different monsters and a spaceship along 10 different levels, while you make the most possible points.
