Assignment: The Best Bargains - Link!
This two-sided worksheet uses line graphs in a different way than the Shoe Sales and Cockroaches graphs. We went over it in class ... did you take good notes? Here are some reminders ...
*Both graphs need keys that you create.
*Both graphs need labels along the bottom and the side, with numbers indicating the scale.
*The Shampoo graph uses the prices in the top paragraph to set the points and then the lines are drawn for you. The food graph needs you to use the chart to plot the points and create the lines.
*Lines should be STRAIGHT.
*Use a ruler or straight edge to see where the intersections are. You don't need to be exact, but you should be able to be darn close.
*When finding the prices, use the graphs, NOT proportional problem solving ... that comes later.
Right now we are simply practicing creating and reading graphs accurately. Think about what makes a graph easier to read than a table and why people use graphs to represent their data. You saw what happen when someone like Mo creates a line graph that is difficult to read ... so make yours awesome!
