With this activity, children will collect data from the produce section of the grocery store and using the data, develop an understanding of linear functions.
In this activity, children will collect data from the produce section of the grocery store by weighing items and plotting the weights of different numbers of objects on a graph. This will help students understand the relationship that more items relates to more weight and therefore a linear relationship exists.
In this grocery store activity, students will weigh produce and determine the mean, median and mode of the products. From this data, they will solve 'real world' problems. Additionally, the resource includes an activity that requires the children to make conclusions base on line graphs of production.
