Block Party Planning: Proportional Relationship Performance Task

Students demonstrate their proportional relationship knowledge with this algebra-based performance task! Built around the theme of a neighborhood block party, this engaging three-page worksheet begins by asking students to determine if relationships shown in tables and on graphs are proportional. If a relationship is proportional, students are also asked to give the constant of proportionality and an equation to represent the relationship. Then, learners are asked to graph proportional relationships and explain what specific points on the graph mean in the context of the word problems. This worksheet is a great opportunity to enhance students' proportional reasoning and problem-solving skills. It can also be used a summative assessment.
