Examples, solutions, videos, and lessons to help Grade 8 students learn how to graph proportional relationships, interpreting the unit rate as the slope of the graph. Compare two different proportional relationships represented in different ways. For example, compare a distance-time graph to a distance-time equation to determine which of two moving objects has greater speed.

Common Core: 8.EE.5

Suggested Learning Targets

  • I can determine the rate of change by the definition of slope.
