Ratios and Proportional Relationships

Narrative for (RP) Ratios and Proportional Relationships

The standards within the Ratios and Proportional Relationships Domain require students to analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real world and mathematical problems.

Calculation Method for Domains

Domains are larger groups of related standards. The Domain Grade is a calculation of all the related standards. Click on the standard name below each Domain to access the learning targets and rubrics/ proficiency scales for individual standards within the domain.

MAT-07.RP.01

7th Grade MAT Targeted Standards
Domain (RP) Ratios and Proportional Relationships
Cluster: Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems

MAT-07.RP.01 Compute unit rates associated with ratios of fractions, including ratios of lengths, areas and other quantities measured in like or different units.

For example, If a person walks 1/2 mile in each 1/4 hour, compute the unit rate as the complex fraction ½ / ¼ miles per hour, equivalently 2 miles per hour.

MAT-07.RP.02

7th Grade MAT Targeted Standards
Domain (RP) Ratios and Proportional Relationships
Cluster: Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems

MAT-07.RP.02 Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities.

  • a. Decide whether two quantities are in a proportional relationship, e.g., by testing for equivalent ratios in a table or graphing on a coordinate plane and observing whether the graph is a straight line through the origin.
  • b. Identify the constant of proportionality (unit rate) in tables, graphs, equations, diagrams, and verbal descriptions of proportional relationships.
  • c. Represent proportional relationships by equations.
  • d. Explain what a point (x, y) on the graph of a proportional relationship means in terms of the situation, with special attention to the points (0, 0) and (1, r) where r is the unit rate.

Student Learning Targets:

Knowledge Targets

  • I can understand that a proportional relationship is when two ratios are equal

Reasoning Targets

  • I can determine when a proportional relationship is being represented
  • I can determine that ratios are proportional if their cross products are equal
