Reply To: Lesson 7-1: Hot Chocolate Task – Discussion

[Kyle Ferreira van Leer]

For 7th grade, I would have them start to think about higher numbers of hot chocolates, or maybe I would start with showing them something like 15 scoops = 5 glasses and ask them how many scoops are needed for 7 glasses.

For 8th grade, I would love to use this to write an equation, graph, and table for a proportional relationship and perhaps have them compare it to another brand of hot chocolate (provided in one of those forms), where I would ask them to say which one is “more chocolate-y” to push towards the idea of comparing slopes/unit rates.
