Every Graph Tells a Story

Edited by Annie Perkins and Pamela J. Wells

The Every Graph Tells a Story problem generated a wide variety of creative and mathematically appropriate responses from 19 sixth-grade to eighth-grade students from Potomac, Maryland; Melbourne, Florida; and Cincinnati, Ohio. Robyn Wise, a pre-algebra teacher at the McLean School in Potomac, Maryland, had recently explored slopes and rates of change with her students using motion sensors and magnetic cars. This problem served as good follow-up to that work for her students. . . . .
