What educators are saying
This was such a fun project for my students to work on. It was a nice break from book work, which often, if not always fails to explain the real world connection to math. This actually tied in nicely because we worked on this during my school's career month.
Used a cumulative review of proportional relationships. The students enjoyed the real life application!

Description
This is a project intended to increase students' intuitive understanding of proportional relationships. Students are invested as they research different jobs and use those jobs to create equations, tables, and graphs of salaries over time. Students will need internet access.
I have used this as an in-class project, as substitute work, as well as homework. Enjoy!

CCSS7.EE.B.4
Use variables to represent quantities in a real-world or mathematical problem, and construct simple equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning about the quantities.
CCSS8.EE.B.5
Graph proportional relationships, interpreting the unit rate as the slope of the graph. Compare two different proportional relationships represented in different ways. For example, compare a distance-time graph to a distance-time equation to determine which of two moving objects has greater speed.
CCSS7.RP.A.1
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 Β½/ΒΌ miles per hour, equivalently 2 miles per hour.
CCSS7.RP.A.2
Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities.
CCSS7.RP.A.2c
Represent proportional relationships by equations. For example, if total cost π΅ is proportional to the number π― of items purchased at a constant price π±, the relationship between the total cost and the number of items can be expressed as π΅ = π±π―.
