5: How Do I Interpret Visual Representations?

3. Learning Intention/Success Criteria
LI: We are learning to get information off graphs SC: I know how to -read graphs in context -answer questions based on visual representations of data -interpret what is happening in the visual representation based on context and labels -understand how labels affect the meaning of different sections on the graph

5. Maximum
The highest point in a graph
Minimum
The lowest point in a graph

6. X-Intercept
Where the line crosses the x-axis
The meaning will change depending on the label on the axis
Y-Intercept
Where the line crosses the y-axis
The meaning will change depending on the label on the axis

30. Reflection 1
In Graph #1, the highest point (2, 3.5) tells us that it took Mehana ________ hours to walk ________ miles from home. In Graph #2, the highest point (8, 42) tells us that it took Logan ________ minutes to climb to a height of ________ feet above the ground. In Graph #3, the highest point (4, 35) tells us that it took Taylor ________ minutes to reach a speed of ________ miles per hour 2
3.5 8 42 4 35

31. Reflection #2
The x-intercepts on each graph have a different meaning due to the label on the y-axis.
In Graph #1, the x-intercepts tell us the times at which Mehana is _____________. In Graph #2, the x-intercepts tell us the times at which Logan is _______________. In Graph #3, the x-intercepts tell us the times at which Taylor is _______________.
at home
on the ground
stopped

32. Reflection #3
The flat/horizontal sections on each graph also have a different meaning due to the label on the y-axis
In Graph #1, the horizontal section tells us that Mehana is _____________________. In Graph #2, the horizontal section tells us that Logan is _______________________. In Graph #3, the horizontal section tells us that Taylor is _______________________.
