Reading and Interpreting Graphs

In this lesson students will learn to read, analyze, and interpret line graphs. The lesson begins with a prediction activity to assess prior knowledge. Students will work in small groups to complete a lab and then read a scenario, interpret the scenario, and create a graphical representation of the scenario. Students will then need to present and justify their results. Students will engage in additional practice through an individual worksheet that matches graphs to short descriptions. Students will provide evidence of learning through a summative written assessment.
