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!
As a man was driving down the high way, he went though traffic. Once the he got into the HOV lane their speed increased. Just as he was about to exit the high way, a tire on his car popped. As he tried to call a tow truck, his phone died. Slowly, the man pushed his car all the way to his work causing his speed to have a major decrease. This story goes with graph number two showing how the mans speed increased. Traffic, then made the mans speed decrease. Once he sped up again his tire popped causing him to go to a complete stop. In the end he had to push his car to work.
ReplyDeleteAs a man and his wife registered to be in the yearly walk for autisum, they decided that they were going to use this as an oppurtunity to prepare for an upcoming 10k, that they were to be praticapating in.When the walk started the next morning, they both took off running as fast as they could, after about a mile, they needed a break, so they decided to speed walk, fot maybe a half mile or so. they repated this proccess intell the race came to an ending point.

A woman was taking her weekly walk around the mall. She walked very fast at a steady pace, one she got to the food court she stopped and ate for a while. Then when she finished eating she suddenly remembered that she needed to buy a birthday present for her sister, which was at the very end of the mall. So she started walking at the same consistent rate she was walking before until she finally ended up at the store. This story goes with graph five because as time increased her distance also increased as well with a consistent rate until she took her break for a while, but then she repeated the same increase of walking after she ate. The independent variable for this problem would be the distance she made and the dependent variable would be the time she took. The time she took depended on the distance she made. The title for this graph would probably be “weekly walk.” As time increased her distance also increased as well with a consistent rate.
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time, little red riding hood decided to go visit her sick Grandma. So she baked some goodies, put on her red cloak, and suantered off into the woods. Little red riding hood skipped down the small path in the woods while maintaining a steady pace. Then out of the shadows the big bad wolf jumped out in front of little red riding hood, while gobbling the three little pigs up!! Little red riding hood was so stunned at what had happend she stoped, and paused for a second. Then thinking she hallucinated about the poor little pigs she took a lunch break. After a quick break she got back on the narrow path. She maintained her previous speed and pace for the rest of the trip until she reached her Grandma`s house. For this story you would use graph 5 because it shows as time goes on and the longer she walks the more distnce she covers and because it shows she was still walking at a steady pace after her encounter with the wolf.. Also she maintained a consistent rate and a steady pace as well. The distance she walked depended on the time she took. So in this case the independent variable is the time she took and the dependent variable is the distance she walked. Lastly the best title for this graph is `A walk in the woods`.
ReplyDeleteBy the way this is Mio Yamada.
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time, a group of friends decided to go on a mountain hiking trip. So when they got to the mountain tehy decided to climb at a steady rate for the morning, as time got near noon they started to slow down and eat. After their lunch they started to climb at a slow rate and speed up as they continued to climb. Around six they reached the top and had dinner on the mountain top. The yards they climbed depens on the time of day.

ReplyDeleteThe title for graph #4 could be Sales for a lemonade stand. The reason I think that this graph should titled Sales for a Lemonade Stand is because I think that the decreases and increases could show the sales over the summer. The sales of lemonade depend on the days. Sally could be selling lemonade in the summer and on a really hot day she might’ve not sold as much lemonade because people are staying inside, whereas on a not so hot day she might’ve sold a lot of lemonade.
ReplyDeleteAt an nascar is in the middle of a race and he is speeding towrds the pit crew. AS he gets closer to the crew he starts to get slower. And finaly he makes a quick stop. The car is only at the pit crew for about 7 seconds and he starts going back into the race. He continues at a steady rate until the race starts again and he starts speeding up and is continuing to faster and faster. As time increases the race car dirver is going fast but then makes a quick stop and then starts to go faster again.
ReplyDeleteSomeone was biking to the school at an increasing speed for 2 minutes and stayed at a consistent speed for about 8 minutes and then slowed down the last 2 minutes. My independent variable is Time since speed relies on time so it is a dependant variable. The dependent variable is speed since we change how fast we go. I would title the graph “Biking Trip to School”. Time goes on the x-axis since it is the independent variable and speed goes on the y-axis since that is the variable that changes over time. The speed depends on time so speed was the dependent variable.
ReplyDeleteThere was a dude skating down a hill so his speed increased pretty quickly, and then he decided to take a break before going back up to the top of the hill. This story goes with graph number 3 because when he went down the hill his speed increased and then he stopped completely, then went back up the hill slowly.
ReplyDeleteI’m doing graph 3. Alright so I’m skateboarding around the skate park riding down all these ramps. I’m getting a lot of speed, I’m with a lot of speed tired so I stop and take a little break for like 1 minute. Before my brake I was going like 25 miles per hour. After my 1 minute break I went down this huge ramp started back at 25 miles per hour then got tired faster so slowly my speed kept dropping after 25 it went to 20 then 15, 10, 5, after 5 I stopped that’s when my mom picked me up. If I was making a graph about this the title would be “My Speed.” My independent variable would be my time on how long my brake was. My dependent variable would be my speed on how fast I was going. I think that this graph would go great. My trend would start out positive then decline down to a negative trend. That’s how my graph would go.
ReplyDeleteJoe decided to take his dog on a walk. They walked at a steady pace until they reached the dog park. After staying at the dog park for a little while, they decided to go home. On their way home, they continued to walk at the same steady pace as before. This story goes with graph #3.The independent variable in this story is time, and the dependent variable is their distance away from home. A good title for this graph would be “A Walk to the Park and Back.”
ReplyDeleteI’m going to choose graph three. Graph three is saying it is increasing then staying the same then decreasing. The story that goes with this graph is, a writer instantly has a great idea for a thriller/ mystery/ romance. The ultimate story. He starts writing the beginning of the story, but as time goes he writes the body. Then he starts slowly losing his train thought. So that first segment is the writer starts writing the beginning, the second segment is when he is writing the body. The last segment is when the writer slowly starts losing his train of thought(which is not the funniest thing in the world.)
ReplyDeleteAt NASA they are going to launch a space shuttle to mars. As they finished the countdown it took off going at a fast speed in minutes. Its speed started to slow down and then stopped for a few minutes because of the detachment of the detachment of the back engines. When the engines were off they slowly increased in speed until it went fast and made it to mars. This story relates to graph 5 showing how the space shuttle increased, stopped for a few minutes the started to increase. The independent variable is time and the dependent is speed. Speed depends on the time it will take to get to mars.
ReplyDeleteWhen a popular restaurant called Oodles of Noodles opens people start coming in at a fast rate until the Oodles of Noodles is full. since this restaurant is so popular, as people leave more people come in to take their spot so there’s the same amount of people there all day. When Oodles of Noodles is getting ready to close, people start to leave at a constant rate until it closes and no one is left. I based my story off graph 3 because it starts a diagonal line going up which represents the people coming into the restaurant, then a horizontal line to show how the amount of people stays the same as the day goes on, then a diagonal line going down to show the people leaving as the restaurant closes. the independent variable is the time and the dependent variable is the amount of people in Oodles of Noodles because the amount of people in the restaurant depends on the time. The title of the graph should be "Number of People in Oodles of Noodles". :)
ReplyDeleteA school bus is taking a group of kids on a field trip and they start at high rate of speed until they run into traffic and slow down rapidly then they get off at a exit and speed up quickly then they run into a hill which hugely decreases their speed then when they get to the top of the hill they have to go down the hill and that has a major increases their speed and then they stay at a high rate of speed until they reach their destination and then have to slow down. This relates to graph 4 because it shows the change of speed over time, the independent variable being time and the dependent variable is speed, and the title is speed of the bus over time
ReplyDeleteGraph three represents a situation like the number of vehicles at a baseball game. The number of people at the baseball game (represented on the y-axis) all depends on the time of the game (represented on the x-axis). The beginning of the graphs increase shows the cars full of fans all arriving at the game. Then the graph shows a stop number of cars arriving at the game, this indicates that people are all watching the game. Then hooray the Rangers won and all of the fans begin to leave, this is shown by the decreasing line.
ReplyDeleteThere was a girl she was in a hurry beacause she needed to go to her aunt's house to deliver her cookies she asked for,but she had an hour to go before her aunt left to the movies. As she went outside,she was riding on her skate board and went on a fast speed but when she saw a ice cream truck 1 block away from her, she stopped for about 5 min to buy ice cream. When she finished her ice cream she got on her skate board again and went on the same speed she went. When she finally got to her aunt's house she was in a good moods so she went back home. This story goes with graph 3, time depends on the speed to get to her aunts house before she leaves to the movies.
ReplyDeleteA tour of a brand new rollercoaster is opining. The man that doing the tour is explaining what the rollercoaster is called the Chinese new year dragon it goes up and down then up then down then up then down it very fast. The graph wood be number 4 because it starts going up then goes back down then back up then back down then back up then back down and that what I think what this graph wood represent it.

Sam is out driving just for the sake of it, he coming to intersection he and hits the bakes slowing down to a sudden red light. Several minutes later he’s off driving down the road again.
ReplyDeleteThe best graph for this story/event is graph # 5. The distance is on the y-axis because it is the dependent variable and is not as consent as time, which is on the x-axis, and wouldn’t make since the other way around.
Graph 3 how long it takes a airplane to get from Dallas to san Antonio
ReplyDeleteSpeed is the independent variable the and time is the dependant variable. The plane takes of and ascends fast is a short amount of time. The first line in graph 3 shows a fast speed in a short amount of time. .When the plane gets to its cruseing altitude shows that’s the plane is going at a steady speed as tome increases. the third line in graph 3 shows the plane descending at a fast speed in a short time.
I chose graph 5 for my story, the bike racer started the race off really fast and passed all the other bikes. And when he was far away from the rest of the bikers he slowed down and went at an average speed for a mile. Then a mile later some of the bikers started catching up to him so he sped up again and about 2 miles later he got to the finish line and won the race. My title for this graph is Bike race, the speed of the biker depends on the speed of all the other bikers.
ReplyDeleteI would chose graph 5 for a race scenario. The independent variable would be time and the dependent would be distance. The title would be distance racers make it in time. The racers start out fast gaining distance very fast then they got in a big wreck and had to wait for 30 mi to get it cleaned up. Then they took of at a steady speed again and finished the race.
ReplyDeleteas Jim ran he went really fast but as he got to the middle he saw the end. He started to slow down he didn’t stop. As he slowed down he saw others passing him and sped up. He shot past everyone. As he was running he got faster because he saw the finish line. The dependant variable is distance because time keeps going on while he can stop. I used graph 5 because it shows him going fast at the beginning then him slowing down and speeding up again.
