From Activity 6.3: MLR 2 Collect and Display. As students work in groups, capture the vocabulary and phrases students use to describe the relationship between the variables they selected over time. Listen for students who refer to the story to justify their decisions as they create the shape of the graph. Record their language on a visual display that can be referenced in future discussions. This will help students to produce and make sense of the language needed to communicate about the relationship between quantities represented by functions graphically and in story contexts. From Lesson 6 “Are You Ready for More?” It is the year 3000. Noah’s descendant s are still racing around the park, but thanks to incredible technological advances, now with much more powerful gadgets at their disposal. How might their newfound access to teleportation and time-travel devices alter the graph of stories of their daily adventures? Could they affect whether or not the distance from home is a function of the time elapsed?
