Choose one of the graphs below and create a story explaining the graph. You must explain which graph you chose, include an appropriate title for the graph, establish an independent and dependent variable (explain in terms of “this depends on this”), and tell a story that relates both variables to the trend shown on the graph. You CANNOT use any previous stories that we have used in our notes or ACE problems. Make this an original story! This posting needs to be REALISTIC and detailed! Check your spelling and grammar. It is VERY possible that this will be a level 2 grade!
My friend John is selling discount cards. He goes door to door and sells the cards. Everyone starts out buying the cards, but then he started to run out of house to sell to. His sells almost became a complete stop. Later he found a new neiborhood and sold alot in a quick period of time. He finally got enough money and decide to stop sell cards. Nathan DeGrado.

ReplyDeleteThe Coppell North Basketball team is playing west today. When the game started North was scoring at a steady rate. Then it was half time and they went to take a break and catch there breath. After half time was over we went right back to scoring at a steady rate. By the end of the game the points had just doubled from the first half. Of course North ends up winning the game. A good title for this graph could be The Basketball Game. Time would go on the x-axis because time is almost always independent. The number of points scored would go on the y-axis. This represents Graph 5.
For this problem I am choosing graph 5. In this graph it shows that at the start increasing at a fast rate, then it stops for a little, then it ends at a fast rate. A story that would relate to this would be a car going on a trip and starting off at a fast rate. About in the middle of the ride having to stop at McDonalds for a bathroom and food break and they end at a good rate on their way to six flags. Variables that I could use are for the x-axis time. For the y-axis you could use distance. A title for this could be ride to six flags.
ReplyDeleteThis is a story that matches graph one. Denton Creek Elementary School rented out the whole entire Aquatic Center for the 5th grade party. They only rented it for one day and that is only the pool area. In the morning the workers started to come in. The workers had to set up for the party before they got there. Around 10:30 a.m. the 5th grade classes started to come in with their teachers. Around one hour latter one of the students throws up. 20 minutes latter two more kids throw up in the pool. The teachers decide it is time to go. Once the left the manager decides no one can go swimming because the students throw up in the pool. The workers now have to stay late and clean up the pool. At the end of the day the manager was the last one to leave. The dependent variable is Number of People and the independent variable is the Time of day this accurse. The graph shows as the morning went on the more workers showed up. Around 10:30a.m. the students came in and the graph went up. After that they left, the graph went back down to how many workers there were. Then at the end of the night the workers gradually went home. Gracie Barden
ReplyDeleteJeff and Bob wanted to raise money for an autographed baseball. Since it was the middle of summer they decided to create a snow cone stand. They started their day at 12 p.m., it was 70° outside. It must have been too cold because not one person bought a snow cone. Luckily, the temperature (x-axis) started rising 5° every half hour. The number of people buying (y-axis) started increasing. The temperature at 1:30 p.m. started to increase at a slower pace. When it reached 82° outside it kept a steady temperature for about an hour and a half. Gradually the temperature started building, and the demand for snow cones was going up. More and more people wanted a snow cone through out the rest of the business day. They ended the day at 3:30 p.m. the temperate was very hot, 105°. A good title for this story is The Snow Cone Stand.
ReplyDeleteThis represents graph #5.
This story goes with graph one. Me and my friends decided to go the park down the street on our bikes. We rode a steady pace all the way there. When we arrived we stayed at the park for 30 minutes, then headed back home. The two variables in this story are distance traveled from starting point and amount of time. Time would go on the x-axis and distance would go on the y-axis. The time depends on distance traveled. We went to the park, we stayed at the park, and we left the park.

Today I finally got my drivers license and I decided I would go for a drive. There was an abandoned parking lot at a store behind my job. I decided to go out there and drive but there were some speed bumps so accelerated over there but didn’t see the police officer sitting in the corner. So he pulled me over and I got a ticket, and then on the sad ride home my original speed decreased.

ReplyDeletetoday faisal was selling lemonade at first he was selling lemonade at a steady pace but then he ran out so he stoped to make more,after, he put the lemonade out and sold at a steady pace ounce more.
Today was the day for a dirt bike race. When it started i had to accelearte to get to the front. Coming up were mini hills. So i went a constant speed so i don't fly over and when the race was over i stopped and my speed decreased. Graph 3

The North volleyball team was playing against Dawson. At first they were really pumped and ready to dominate. At first the girls kept making points and were playing very well. They kept getting hit, after hit. In about 15 minutes the girls started to roughly slow down but still keep a steady pace on the amount of points they scored. By the end of the game, the girls lost there pace and roughly went down from there. The name of this graph should be called North volleyball game. The time would go on the x axis because time is the independent variable, on the y axis would be the amount of points scored.-- Sydney Pickett
ReplyDeleteThis story is for graph one. The Mustang Drive is starting today and the need to round up the horses. The y-axis indicates the number of horses in the sell(dependent), the x-axis indicates the time(independent). First in the pens at the drive there aren’t very many horses to sell so they go out to get more, that is what the first increase indicates. They start the round up around 7 a.m., they don’t find any for about two hours, that is what the stop indicates. Then when they come back to the sell they bring about 300 horses. That is what the increase shows. When everyone comes to buy a horse, at the end of the day the horses are all gone, this is shown with the sudden decrease. So they don’t have horses until they go out and get more, the stop shows this.
ReplyDeleteI chose my story to match graph 3. A new movie is showing at Vista Ridge Mall, to get good seats people start coming about an hour before the actual start time. As the movie start time gets closer more and more people come to the theater. Once all the seats are full they do not allow anyone else in, throughout the movie the number of people in the movie theater stays the same. When the movie ends, everybody leaves until the theater is empty again. The number of people is on the y-axis and the time is on the x-axis. The title of the graph would be, Attendance at a Movie Theater. Sydney McNabb
ReplyDeleteMe and my friends ride our bike around the neighborhood. Then we get tired and get a drink of water and take a rest at the park and eat our lunch. Then we get back on our bike and ride again around the neighborhood. Graph 5
ReplyDeleteI woke up one day and i wanted to make a graph that showed my speed through the hills on my Long Board over time. So I had my mom drive beside me while I went and i used a stop watch. After that i made my graph, and my independent variable was time per secnde(x-axis) ,and my dependent variable was speed miles per hour (y-axis). When I estimated my points on the graph it turned out to look like graph 4. When the graph peaked was when I was on my way down one of the hills, but when it hit the bottom was when I was almost to the top of the hill.
ReplyDeleteGraph 4
The graph I selected was number three my story was about two hikers climbing a hill. My independent variable was the time of the day and my dependent variable was how much land they cover when they are walking up that hill. The two hikers fresh and full of energy hike up the hill as the time goes by they get tired they keep on moving but slowly. They reach the other side of the hill and quickly go down because the other side is steep once they are down they faint.
ReplyDeleteThe graph I choose is number 4. The title for the graph would be “Speed John runs over time”. On the x axis there would be time because time is the independent variable and for the y axis there would be speed because that is the dependent variable. Choose these variables because when you say it in the sentence it will make sense. Because he is running on the sidewalk he will be slowing down and speeding up. Depending on the time the speed will slow down and speed up because he will get tired as he runs.
ReplyDeleteThe situation is that John is running on the sidewalk. He starts by speeding up but then he gets tired really fast so he slows down. Then he starts running down hill so he speeds up and goes faster. After a while the hill starts to get leveled and then it goes up so he’s running uphill. Finally the hill levels out again so John starts to sprint. While sprinting he hurts his ankles so he starts to slow down then he stopped.
Kaylee and Selene wanted to go to Six Flags in Dallas, Texas, so they decided to create a lemonade stand to raise enough money. They needed 80 dollars to complete their trip. They started their lemonade stand in the middle of summer at 8:00 A.M. fortunately adults started coming in very quickly before work started. The number of people depends on the time of day it is. At about 8:00 to 12:00 P.M. the number of sales were at a steady pace until about 12:00 the sales came to a stop for a couple hours. Then as time goes on, at about 3:00 P.M., the number of people starts buying more lemonade. Kaylee and Selene got enough money to go to Six Flags. They would use graph 5 to show how their sales went. It also explains how the number of people depends on what time of day it is, showing us are independent and dependent variable.

ReplyDeleteToday dakota runs 10 miles in 1 houre. At first he starts at a stedy pace. At 5 miles he starts to get tired so he stops to get a samwitch. When he is finshed with his samwitch he finishes his run. The dependent varaible is the distance and the independ varaible is the time.
During the summer at Lake Wanahogna the rain frequency changed over one week. The lake water rose at a little more than a steady pace when it rained for the first 2 days. After the rain had stopped for the next 2 days and then the water ended at 30ft. after starting at 10ft. the water gradually began to decrease because it got up to 102° over the next 3 days, which means it took 1 week in time to get to 30ft. of water. On the graph we would have time on the x-axis and feet of water on the y-axis.
ReplyDeleteVanessa and Edward are conducting their science project. Their task is to fill up a bowl with soda, put in the sun, and see how long it took to dissolve. But during the experiment, Vanessa little sister came in the room and decided to place her hand inside the bowl. When she positioned her hand inside the bowl, the soda level rose up and was almost overflowing the bowl. Vanessa’s sister had her hand inside for a while until Edward noticed her. He quickly pulled her hand out of the soda and escorted her out of the kitchen. When he pulled her hand out, the level of the water went down. Since her little sister had ruined the experiment, Vanessa decided to pour out the remaining soda and start over. The independent variable is time and the dependent variable is soda level.This represents Graph 1.

Lemonade stand .
ReplyDeleteToday faisal said he could sell 30 cups of fresh lemonade in 30 minutes. At first he was selling at a steady pace. Then he realized he has just ran out of lemonade. so he stopped to make more. It took a while but he got it done and put out more lemonade and kept his steady pace of selling lemonade over time. The number of lemonades sold depends on the time of day that you are selling it. The independent variable is time and the number of lemonades sold.

This story matches with graph number five. Will competed in a swimming meet for the 500 freestyle (20 lengths of the pool) with a time on 7 min. and 23 sec. he swam at a steady pace in the first half of the event , but then wills goggles flip off when completing a flip turn so will starts to slow down then stops to fix his goggles. He completes the other half of the race at a steady rate and finishes. The speed of Wills swimming is on the y axis or the dependent variable. The time goes on the x axis or the independent variable. The reason for the swimming speed to be the dependent variable is because the speed changes as time goes on and the speed depends on the time as it goes on. As for the time, it has mostly been known to go on the x axis. The best title for this graph would be swimming 500 freestyle.
ReplyDeleteThe amount of people in attendance on the plane flight best goes with graph three. The amount of people in attendance depends on the flight time. People getting on a plane then staying on for the flight and then getting off, goes with graph three. Depending on what time the plane takes off into flight people might fly during the day or night so they don’t have to wake up early. Also it depends what time they have to be at their destination.
