Proportional and Non-Proportional Relationships Practice for Grade 8
By Pamela W.
A printable STAAR-style practice worksheet for 8th graders that reviews proportional and non-proportional relationships across tables, graphs, equations, and word situations. Students build fluency with the constant of proportionality, slope, and y-intercept, and get a key-terms section to reference as they work through each question.
Customize for your classroom
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use as a warm-up or review station in a 45-minute math block, or assign it as independent practice before a STAAR-style assessment.
- Discussion question: How can you tell from a table alone whether a relationship passes through the origin, and why does that matter for proportionality?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Have students first circle the key terms in the Key Terms box, then complete the first two questions together, working out the ratio y/x in each row of the table before moving on.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to write a word problem that models a non-proportional relationship with a nonzero y-intercept and explain how its graph differs from a proportional one.
- Estimated time: about 30 to 40 minutes for the full worksheet, plus 10 minutes for review.
