6 September 2008 V.B. Big Idea: Observation and describtion of chandes in the world around us are the first steps in learning and discovering about patterns. INV 2 Essential Question: What are some situations that we can describe as variable? Question A: Make a coordinate graph of the (time, distance) data given in the table.
 * ~ Time (Hours) ||~ Distance (Miles) ||
 * 0.0 || 0 ||
 * 0.5 || 8 ||
 * 1.0 || 15 ||
 * 1.5 || 19 ||
 * 2.0 || 25 ||
 * 2.5 || 27 ||
 * 3.0 || 34 ||
 * 3.5 || 40 ||
 * 4.0 || 40 ||
 * 4.5 || 40 ||
 * 5.0 || 45 ||

Answer to A: Question B:  Sidney wants to write a report describing day two of the tour. using information for the table or the graph, what could she write about the days travel? be sure to consider the following questions:

Answer to B: In this five hours ride he students traveled 45 miles in the whole day. The bikers rode 27 miles morning and 18 miles in the after noon. They also took a one hour break from 3.5 till 4.5. The break slowed them down in the second half of the day. They started of fast then slowed down each hour as they traveled. They made the most miles from the time interval of 0.0 and 0.5. They made the least amount from2.0 - 2.5. Question C: By analyzing the table, how can you find the time intervals when the riders made the most progress? The least progress? How can you find these intervals by analyzing the graph? Answer to C: To find the time intervals in which the people made the most and least progress on the table I found the difference in each distance intervals then saw for which was the most. To find on the table I drew line segments from each point and the steeper the line the more the progress and the less steep the line the less the progress. Question D: Sidney wants to include either the table or the graph in her report. Which do you think she should include? Why? Answer to D: If I were her I would include both the graph and the table because the table has accurate numbers and the graph shows the interval differences easily.
 * How far did the group travel in a day? How much time did it take them?
 * During which time interval(s) did the riders make the most progress? The least progress?
 * Did the riders go further in the first half or in the second half of the day’s ride?
