Cynthia Lanius' Lessons: Hot Tub: 6-8 Representation
Description:
This resource is provided from Cynthia Lanius' Homepage through Rice University. This lesson presents a graph of the water level of a hot tub over time. Students are then asked to "tell the story" behind the graph, giving as many details as they can justify from the graph. Follow-up questions ask students to look at the slope of various segments of the graph and relate it to the rate of change. This lesson highlights the importance of having students make sense of graphs and understanding what graphs actually represent.
