This document contains instructions and questions for an assignment interpreting graphs. Students are asked to analyze three graphs showing the relationship between time and distance traveled by a cyclist. They are to describe patterns in the graphs and make up stories matching the data. Students are also given a story about a runner, Mr. T, and asked to sketch a graph matching his race and pace over the 10 mile distance. Finally, they are shown an unlabeled distance-time graph and asked to label the axes and write a short story consistent with the data points.
Day 6 interpreting graphs
- 1. NAME: __________________________ DATE: ___________ DAY 6 – Interpreting Graphs Directions: The following three graphs show the relationship between TIME and DISTANCE traveled by a cyclist. a) Describe the relationship shown in this graph. Make up a story about the cyclist that could be modeled by the graph. b) Over what interval in the graph is the cyclist traveling the fastest? The slowest? Not moving at all? Explain how you know. a) b) a) b) a) b) Time Distance Distance ce Distance Distance Time Time
- 2. 2) Directions: Read the story about Mr. T. Go back, read the story a second time and sketch a graph that matches Mr. T’s race. Mr. T ran a 10 mile race last weekend. He paced himself, running at a good but steady pace for the first 5 miles. He increased his pace during the next 4 miles. For the last mile, he was tiring but kept moving and managed to come in second place! Now that you’re an expert, study the graph below!……….. a. Label the x and y-axis. Describe why you chose each label. b. Write a short story about the car and bus that matches the information given in the graph. car bus
