Constant Rates of Change in 7th Grade Math

This video tutorial covers the concept of constant rates of change and proportional relationships. It begins with an introduction to these concepts, followed by an exploration of a tortoise's speed to illustrate constant rates. The video then delves into proportional relationships, using examples like Kelly's dog-sitting and a school field trip to demonstrate how to identify and represent these relationships. The tutorial also explains how to write equations for proportional relationships, emphasizing the importance of the constant of proportionality.
