Lesson Narrative
In this lesson, students use tables, graphs, and equations to represent the relationships between time and distance, in the context of objects moving at a constant rate. They use their representations to compare rates and consider how each of the representations would change if the independent and dependent variables were switched.
- Create a table, graph, and equation to represent the relationship between distance and time for an object moving at a constant speed.
- Identify (in writing) the independent and dependent variable in an equation.
- Interpret (orally and in writing) an equation that represents the relationship between distance and time for an object moving at a constant speed.
Let’s use equations and graphs to describe stories with constant speed.
