Instructional Ideas

• Use as part of a unit test on interpreting graphs

Classroom Considerations

• While the task indicates alignment to the 8.EE domain, it is more closely aligned to 8.G.5
• Learners need to know that the slope of a graph of distance versus time gives the speed

Pros

• Simple context all learners can relate to
• Resource includes scoring rubric

Cons

• Incorrect footer information
• Resource gives the units for answers, so learners do not need to interpret units
