Using Graphs - Directions
Using the Using Graphs Concept Builder is quite simple. There are three different activities. In each activity you will be given a series of questions that you must answer. Answering the questions is a little different in each activity. In the first activity (Calculating Slopes), you must provide two answers to the question. You must calculate the numerical value of the slope and enter it into the corresponding answer field. And you must tap on the Units answer field to toggle through a collection of options for the unit. Once the appropriate unit is displayed and you are certain of your numerical answer for slope, you can tap on the Check Answers button. The second activity (For Every ...) presents you with a multiple choice question and five options for answers. You can select an answer by tapping on the option or on the circle to the left of the option. Once you are confident of your Multiple Choice option, tap on the Check Answer button. The third activity (Predict!) requires that you extrapolate from the plotted data to determine a value for the dependent variable (y-axis) when given a value for the independent variable. Enter your predicted value into the answer blank and tap on the Check Answer button.
In each activity, your answer will be evaluated and your Progress Report will be updated. Your goal is to earn "Stars" and to complete one or more levels of difficulty. Stars are earned when you show success on a particular situation. Once you show success on each of three situations at a particular difficulty level, you will earn the reward for that level.
