Ask volunteers to fill in the x and y values from the graph. (,); (,); (,); (,); (,); and (,) Point out that although this table looks different from a What s My Rule? table, it still has a rule. In this case, the rule describes the relationship between the coordinates of the ordered number pairs (x,y). Ask students to examine the table data and name a rule that fits. Sample answer: The sum of the coordinates is always. Explain that if x and y are used as variables, the rule can be written as the equation: x + y =. Write the equation on the board or Class Data Pad. Ask students to suggest how the rule could be written in a different way. y = x, or x = y Write the equations on the board or Class Data Pad. Have students select ordered number pairs from the table to verify the equations. NOTE For practice solving problems involving numeric patterns, see www.everydaymathonline.com.

They should extend the line beyond the axes in both directions. (See page 8.) Ask students to name other ordered pairs that are on the line. Then check to see that these pairs satisfy the same x + y = rule. Guide students to locate and name ordered number pairs containing fractions or negative numbers. Fraction pairs: ( _,_ ); (_, _ ); (_,_ ); (_, _ ); and so on. Negative numbers: (6,-); (7,-); (8,-); (-,8); (- _,7_ ); and so on. Solving the Footrace Problem (Math Journal, p. ) Adjusting the Activity PARTNER Algebraic Thinking Assign Problem on the journal page. Have students work with partners or in small groups. Point out that they will be completing this table to analyze the results based on two different rules, one rule for Eli and one rule for Lupita. When most students have finished, bring the class together to discuss the answers. Ask volunteers to explain how they used the table to answer the questions in Problem. Look at the distance for Eli and Lupita at each time interval. Lupita leads most of the way, but Eli wins after seconds. Ask: After the start of the race, how many yards does Eli gain on Lupita each second? Eli gains yard each second. Ask: How did you get your answer? Sample answers: For second (input), I looked at the difference between the output for Eli and the output for Lupita. Here Lupita is ahead by, or 9 yards; after seconds, she is ahead by 8, or 8 yards; after seconds, she is ahead by, or 7 yards; and so on. Eli s speed is yard per second faster than Lupita s, so he catches up by yard per second. Have students extend the table to answer additional questions such as: Who is ahead after 8 seconds and by how much? Lupita, by yards What if the race had been yards instead of 6? The race would have ended in a tie, and it would have taken seconds. A U D I T O R Y K I N E S T H E T I C T A C T I L E V I S U A L Ask: What is the rule for the time it takes Eli to cover the distance? Distance = number of seconds, or d = t Tell students that it might help to think of the table as two What s My Rule? tables. In each table, the in values are numbers of seconds (time), and the out values are numbers of yards (distance). (See margin.) Ask: What is the rule for the time it takes Lupita to cover the distance? Distance = number of seconds +, or d = t + 86 Unit Using Data; Algebra Concepts and Skills
Lupita s rule is less obvious, and students might not discover it on their own. Remind students that Lupita had a -yard head start. Her actual running distance is the number of yards, but her -yard head start must be added. Write the rules on the board or a transparency, and have students verify that the rules are correct for several values from the table. Ongoing Assessment: Informing Instruction Watch for students who do not understand how Lupita s -yard head start is part of the rule. Guide them to see the pattern in the computations used to complete Lupita s data in the table. Write the computations in equation form. seconds: ( ) + = yards seconds: ( ) + = yards seconds: ( ) + = 6 yards seconds: ( ) + = yards Date 6 Time Rules, Tables, and Graphs continued. Use the grid below to graph the results of the race between Eli and Lupita. Distance (yd) 8 7 7 6 6 Lupita Eli 6 7 8 9 6 Time (sec). How many yards apart are Eli and Lupita after 7 seconds?. Suppose Eli and Lupita race for 7 yards instead of 6 yards. a. Who would you expect to win? b. How long would the race last? Student Page c. How far ahead would the winner be at the finish line? Math Journal, p. yards Eli seconds yards Graphing the Footrace Data (Math Journal, p. ) WHOLE-CLASS Have students graph the data in their tables, using the grid on the journal page. Students should plot two graphs on the same grid one for Eli and one for Lupita. Suggestions: Students need to plot only a few time and distance results for each runner in order to make the graph. Have them write the ordered pairs for a few results and then plot them. Suggest that students select results whose times are spread out along the interval; for example, seconds (start), seconds, and seconds. Sample answers: For Eli: (,), (,), (,); For Lupita: (,), (,), and (,) Students should then use a straightedge to connect these points for each runner and label the lines Eli and Lupita. Have students compare the two lines. How and why are they different? Sample answers: Eli s line is steeper because he is running faster. Lupita s line intersects the vertical axis at yards because she had a head start. Have students verify that all of Eli s and Lupita s times and distances shown in the table are points on the graphs. The graphs show that Eli and Lupita both cross the -yard line in seconds. The lines of the graphs intersect at the point ( sec, yd). Lesson 6 87
Ask additional questions that can be answered by referring to the graphs: Who was ahead after seconds and by how much? Lupita, by 6 yards How far did Eli run in seconds? yards If the race had been 7 yards, who would have won and by how much? Eli would have won by second. Use a straightedge to extend the two graphs. Adjusting the Activity ELL Have students use two colors when graphing the footrace data, one color for each data set. A U D I T O R Y K I N E S T H E T I C T A C T I L E V I S U A L Have students work with partners or in small groups to complete Problems and on journal page. Circulate and assist. Encourage students to answer the questions by using their graphs. They must use a straightedge to extend the graphs before answering the questions about the 7-yard race. Ongoing Assessment: Recognizing Student Achievement Exit Slip Use an Exit Slip (Math Masters, page ) to assess students ability to read and interpret graphs. Have students explain their answers for Problem a on journal page. Sample answer: I drew Eli s and Lupita s lines on the graph so they extended to 7 yards. The lines show that Eli is ahead of Lupita, so I would expect Eli to win. Students are making adequate progress if their writing refers to being able to extend the lines to see an increase in time and distance.

6 Interpreting Table Data There are a number of choices when making a graph from table data. The type of graph is determined by the type of data represented. The title and labels for the graph are often the easiest to recognize from the table. Deciding on the scale to use for the y-axis of a line graph is more of a challenge. The intervals in the data can guide the choice of a scale.. Make a graph for each of the tables below. Table Pinto bean plants grow an average of. inches each day. Day Plant Height (in.)... 6. 7. Sample answers: Car Colors silver yellow white black red Teaching Master Name Date Time blue Height (in.) Table Exterior colors of cars in the movie theater parking lot Exterior Color Percent Silver % Yellow % Black % Red % Blue % White % Plant Growth 8 7 6 Time (days). On the back of this page, explain why you chose which graph to use for each table. Math Masters, p. 7 Differentiation Options READINESS Interpreting Table Data for Graphs (Math Masters, p. 7) SMALL-GROUP Min To provide experience with constructing graphs from table data, have students identify the relationship between parts of a table and parts of a graph. Refer students to the tables on Math Masters, page 7. Discuss how students might choose the type of graph to use for each table. Circle graphs show parts of a whole, so Table data could be represented by a circle graph. Line graphs often show change over time, so Table could be represented by a line graph. Discuss how the table organization suggests the title and labels, including line-graph scales, for the graphs. Have students graph the data from the tables on the Math Masters page. ENRICHMENT Graphing Race Results (Math Masters, p. 9) WHOLE-CLASS + Min Name Date Time Meters Distance/Time Graph Teaching Aid Master To apply students understanding of constructing graphs from table data, have students explore multiple graphs on a single grid. Divide students into groups of or. Each group chooses a different method of movement (for example, hopping on one foot, taking baby steps, or walking backward) for completing the -meter course. The groups use a stopwatch to time how long each group member takes to complete the course. Each group makes a distance-over-time line graph of the results for each group member on the same grid. Plot time on the x-axis and distance on the y-axis. A student plots his or her starting point at the origin (,) and his or her ending point at the number of seconds it takes to cover the distance. The student then connects these two points with a line segment. Draw each group member s line segment in a different color. Compare the graphs.
