Dots and Graphs

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Dots and Graphs interactive also includes:
  • About Concept Builders
  • Dots and Graphs
  • Teacher Notes
  • Questions
  • Join to access all included materials

Scholars demonstrate understanding of kinematic graphs through matching dot graphs to position time graphs, dot graphs to velocity graphs, and a mixture of the two. If users feel stuck or confused, a Help Me! button offers an explanation of how to solve the problems in general and walks learners through how to solve that specific problem.
