Proportional Relation– Build the Graph
Help your 7th-grade students visualize and understand proportional relationships with this interactive digital worksheet! Through engaging real-world examples—such as jogging at a constant speed and calculating packaging costs—students practice using unit rates to fill tables, plot points, and discover how proportional relationships form straight lines through the origin.
As students complete the tables, the graph is generated automatically based on their inputs, allowing them to instantly see how changes in the table affect the line on the coordinate plane. This hands-on interactivity helps reinforce the connection between tables, equations, and graphs.
The worksheet also supports randomization, so every student can receive a unique set of numbers and proportional scenarios—making learning individualized and preventing copying.
Learning Highlights:
- Identify and represent proportional relationships between quantities.
- Use unit rates to make predictions and solve real-world problems.
- Understand that proportional relationships create straight lines through the origin.
- Connect equations, tables, and graphs to deepen conceptual understanding.
Aligned Standard:
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.RP.A.2 — Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities.
Perfect for class practice, homework, or digital assignments, this worksheet makes proportional reasoning visual, interactive, and engaging for middle-school learners.
Learning Objective
Students will identify, represent, and analyze proportional relationships between two quantities by completing tables, plotting points on coordinate graphs, and interpreting unit rates in real-world contexts.
They will learn that:
- Proportional relationships form a straight line passing through the origin.
- The unit rate (constant of proportionality) determines the slope of the line.
- Tables, graphs, and equations are connected representations of the same relationship.

Randomization Available
Would you like to enable randomization so that each student receives a different set of numbers and values in this worksheet? This helps prevent copying and encourages independent problem-solving while keeping the learning objectives the same.
💡 Tip: When assigning this activity to your classroom, you can optionally enable randomization to give each student a unique version of the problems. When you re-assign the same worksheet, each student will get a new set of questions, helping them master the content through repeated practice.
