Description
Speed - Time Graphs - Reading and Creating Speed / Time Graphs:
This resource contains FOUR separate practice assignments on speed / time graphs. They are well made, relatable, funny, and engaging. Here is a look at each speed / time graph assignment.
1. Speed / Time Graph 1: Creating a speed / time graph: This assignment has students read a story and create a graph that shows the changes in speed over time of Abby, as she leaves her house in order to exercise. She alternates between walking and running for periods of time. I use this assignment to explain a speed / time graph. Students often pick up on it right away and it helps make the entire idea understandable.
2. Speed / Time Graph 2: This is a second story in which students will create a graph. After introducing speed / time graphs with handout #1, I have students work in partners to practice the skill without me. This allows them immediate practice while I can walk around and troubleshoot.
3. Speed / Time Graph 3: This is a generic speed / time graph that has portions labeled with letters. Students answer questions based on the graph. Questions include identifying where an object was traveling at a steady rate, speeding up vs slowing down, accelerating at the highest rate, etc.
4. Speed / Time Graph 4: For this assignment, I give students a ready made graph. Students use the graph to create a story themselves that matches the graph. I allow students to share their stories (after I've proofed them, of course.) This allows for some creativity.
Use these handouts for:
- Teaching speed/ time graphs
- Review
- Homework
- Sub work
