Graphing Stories: Two Graphing Stories - Distance vs. Time Problem

• Algebra 1 - Module 1 Lesson 5
• This resource can be used as a warm up, exit ticket, do now, bell ringer or quiz.

Student Outcomes:

• Students will interpret the meaning of the point of intersection of two graphs and use analytic tools to find its coordinates.
• Student will identify the intersection point of the graphs of two equations in an ordered pair that is a solution to BOTH equations.
• Students will interpret within the context of a distance (or elevation) story, this point represents the fact that both distances (and elevations) are equal at the given time.
• Students will describe Graphing stories with quantities that change at a constant rate can be represented using piece-wise linear equations.
