This approach also optimizes class time, allowing the teacher to direct activities towards achieving these specific aims.

Tujuan Utama:

1. Enable students to identify whether two quantities have a direct or inverse relationship and to express this relationship through an algebraic expression.

2. Help students correlate a first-degree linear equation with two unknowns to its graphical representation on a Cartesian plane.

Tujuan Tambahan:

1. Enhance problem-solving skills in mathematics by applying concepts of proportionality and linear equations.
2. Encourage students to think critically while analyzing and interpreting mathematical data.

Pengantar

Durasi: (15 - 20 minutes)

The introduction phase aims to engage students with content they researched at home, using problem scenarios that prompt critical thinking about the relationships between quantities and equations. Additionally, contextualizing the importance of these ideas in everyday life allows students to see their relevance, sparking interest and enthusiasm for the class.

Situasi Berbasis Masalah

1. Imagine a cake recipe where the quantity of flour used is directly proportional to the number of eggs. If a recipe calls for 4 eggs, how many cups of flour are needed? Use the proportion to solve the puzzle.

2. Consider that a car's travel distance is inversely proportional to the time taken to travel at a consistent speed. If the car covers 400 km in 5 hours, how long will it take to cover 320 km? Present a logical explanation and the steps taken to arrive at the answer.

Kontekstualisasi

Understanding relationships of proportionality and inverse is a part of our everyday lives, from cooking to budgeting for a trip. For instance, while organizing an outing for 40 people, it’s crucial to calculate how much food and drink is required, which involves grasping how quantities fluctuate based on the guest count. These mathematical skills are essential for effectively addressing real-world problems and for enhancing our awareness of the world surrounding us.

Pengembangan

Durasi: (70 - 75 minutes)

The development stage is structured for students to apply the concepts of proportionality and equations studied earlier in an interesting and practical way. Teamwork not only reinforces their learning but also cultivates collaboration and communication skills. Each activity is aimed at deepening the understanding of the relationships between quantities, prepping students for real-life applications and more intricate mathematical challenges.

Saran Kegiatan

Disarankan hanya satu dari kegiatan yang disarankan yang dilaksanakan

Kegiatan 1 - Party Proportions

> Durasi: (60 - 70 minutes)

- Tujuan: Apply concepts of proportion and understand their direct connections in recipe preparation.

- Deskripsi: In this activity, students will plan a hypothetical party, calculating the amounts of ingredients needed for varying numbers of guests, as certain recipes are proportional. Each group will receive a cake recipe, and they must calculate the ingredients for 10, 20, and 30 guests.

- Instruksi:

• Divide the class into groups of up to 5 students.

• Distribute a copy of the cake recipe to each group and ask them to calculate the ingredient quantities for 10, 20, and 30 guests.

• Each group should create a comparative table or graph illustrating the ingredient amounts for different guest counts.

• After completing their calculations, each group will present their findings, explaining whether the quantities are proportional and detailing how they arrived at those conclusions.

Kegiatan 2 - Race Against Time

> Durasi: (60 - 70 minutes)

- Tujuan: Understand and apply inverse proportionality in practical travel contexts.

- Deskripsi: Students will assist a fictional character in planning their car trip, where the distance covered is inversely proportional to the time spent traveling at a constant speed. They will calculate times for various distances and discuss the implications of these relationships.

- Instruksi:

• Organize students into groups of up to 5.

• Provide each group with a travel scenario involving different distances and speeds, then ask them to calculate the time needed for each segment.

• Each group should plot the points on the Cartesian plane to represent this inverse relationship.

• Groups will share their findings and discuss what inverse relationships mean in the context of travel.

Kegiatan 3 - Building the Proportion Map

> Durasi: (60 - 70 minutes)

- Tujuan: Enhance research, calculation, and graphical representation skills concerning proportional and inverse relationships.

- Deskripsi: Students will create a thematic map where cities are connected by roads whose distances correspond to certain characteristics of those cities. For example, the distance between two cities may relate directly to the population or inversely to the unemployment rate.

- Instruksi:

• Divide the class into groups of up to 5 students.

• Assign each group a set of cities and characteristics to work on for the map.

• Students should research real values representing the assigned characteristics and calculate the roads' distances proportionally or inversely.

• Finally, each group will present their map and explain the relationships of proportionality and inverse used.
