Expressing The Situation With Algebra


Expressing The Situation With Algebra With The 7th Grade Math Consulting Agency

Part B




Mr. Kumaresh has informed me that he is very pleased with the results, but he gets very confused when he starts trying to compare the data from all three tables.  What he needs is some sort of chart or graph that will have all of the data displayed so that it is easier to compare the rates. 

At 8:50 AM Thursday morning we will have a board meeting to decide the best type of graph or chart to help Mr. Kumaresh out of his decision dilemma. Before the meeting please think about the best type of graph, discuss it with your team and be ready to present. 
Consider the following:
  • He needs to see all  plans on one chart.
  • He needs to see how the rates change as the amount of people going increases.      



You have ten minutes to discuss this with your team. Be ready to share your opinion and why you choose that opinion.  Which graph is best and why? Before sharing describe your answers at the blog .

After each presentation we will vote on a chart and each team will produce their own version of the chart.
You will need pencils, graph paper and markers.

  1. The graph my table and i think that we should use a line graph, because Mr.Kumaresh wants to know the different rates. And the line graph shows how the prices change.

  2. Freddy,Kristina,Aaylah and cheynne think that the bar graph is the best one because its the one that would show the differences of the price range that would be clear

  3. Ok we are going to use a line graph. because we think it best shows what the rate is and it is easier to figure out the rate. - Reynaldo, Alondra, Ashely, Cynthia (:

  4. We have decided to use a line graph to represent the data in all three tables. With the line graph we can compare all three tables of information using 1 line graph.
