Comparing Direct Variations Task Cards | Graphs, Tables & Equations

Give students meaningful practice comparing direct variations represented in multiple ways with these real-world task cards.

Each card presents three proportional relationships using a combination of graphs, tables, and equations. Students determine and compare constants of variation, identify greatest and least rates, order relationships, and answer comparison questions based on the situations.

The real-world contexts help students connect the representations while practicing proportional reasoning and direct variation.

Skills include:

Comparing direct variations
Finding and interpreting the constant of variation
Comparing rates from graphs, tables, and equations
Ordering relationships by rate
Solving real-world comparison problems
Connecting multiple representations

Perfect for: Math centers, stations, partner work, small groups, intervention, review, or independent practice.
