Construct and describe a graph showing continuous data, such as a graph of a quantity that changes over time.
Remarks
In the 2007 Sunshine State Standards for mathematics, continuous line graphs are introduced for the first time in fifth grade. Students relate graphic displays to scenarios involving change over time and vice versa.Example: A bicycle rider starts riding and steadily increases his speed until he is riding 10 mph after 5 minutes. This means that he was riding 0 mph at 0 minutes, 2 mph after 1 minute, 4 mph after 2 minutes, and so forth. After he reaches 10mph, he rides at that rate for 8 minutes. Then he hits a tree and stops suddenly. Draw a graph of the rider's speed versus time during his ride.
Example: The graph below describes a trip to the store.
Write a story that fits the graph. Explain what happens at each highlighted point.
