Matching Tables and Graphs

This Instructional Activity is a part of the Lesson 10, Unit 2, Grade 7. Students work in pairs to match tables to graphs and to practice articulating their reasoning. This task is intended to foster understanding of correspondences between tables and graphs. Students sort the graphs and justify their sorting schemes. Then, they compare the way they sorted their graphs with a different group. The purpose of this activity is to illustrate the idea that the graph of a proportional relationships is a line through the origin.
