What this lesson shows
A kitten's mass each day, points joined, and the change between days.
The worked example
The lesson works this one step by step: A kitten's mass each day, in grams: 100, 125, 175, 175, 200, 225. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.
The steps
- Time across, value up
- Join the points
- Steeper means a bigger change
Helping at home
Time goes across, the value goes up, counting by a step that fits the data. Plot a point for each value, join them in order, and read the change: the steeper the line, the bigger the change.
If your kid gets stuck
Time across, value up. Join the points in order.
