In this video lesson, students build on their work with tables and represent proportional relationships using equations of the form y = kx. The activities present values in tables and focus on the idea that for each table, there is a number k so that all values in the table satisfy the equation y = kx. By expressing the regularity of repeated calculations of values in the table with the equations, students are engaging in MP8.
