Specific Outcomes:
1. Represent and describe patterns and relationships, using graphs and tables. [C, CN, ME, PS, R,
V]
2. Demonstrate an understanding of the relationships within tables of values to solve problems. [C,
CN, PS, R]

Students will be able to:

Learning 1) Use continuous line graphs to predict what happens in between data values when data is
Objectives continuous
What do you want your 2) Compare and contrast discrete and continuous data

(Activity #1) - Teacher Actions
- I will address each powerpoint slide and discuss the questions on the slides with the class
- On slide 7 (Using continuous graphs to find in-between data values), I will draw a graph based on the informatio
powerpoint slide and demonstrate how I can use a ruler to find in-between data values
- Slide 8: students will be asked to draw their own graph based on the table of information provided on the slide.
