Number Forge Mathematics

Engage students with proportional relationships through this fun, two page activity! Students first build a table to represent time vs. miles traveled for a sloth named Blaze McSlowface, racing across the city in his car at a constant speed. Using critical thinking and number fluency, they’ll complete the table, plot a scatterplot, and form a linear graph to show the proportional relationship. On Page Two, students apply the same skills to a real-life context: hours worked vs. money earned.

This free resource includes 4 pages of different sizes of graph/grid paper, formatted for standard letter-size printing with no logos or branding. Graph paper is a classroom essential, adaptable for any age level and useful across multiple math topics and STEM activities. Teachers and students can use graph paper to: Plot points, lines, and functions in algebra and pre-algebra. Model proportional relationships with tables and graphs. Draw geometric figures and transformations with accuracy.
