Examine the relationships between capacities of various containers. Look at two containers that have different diameters and heights. Fill a container and squirt liquids between the containers to establish the proportional relationship. Express relationships using mathematical notation such as a=6xb. This learning object is the first in a series of five objects that progressively increase in difficulty. Some objects in the series are also packaged as a combined learning object.
Objective
1. Students use proportions to represent quantitative relationships.
2. Students use the transitive property of equality to find the relationship between two variables.
3. Students express proportional relationships using mathematical notation.
