What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students read economic charts and graphs, including the axes, units, and scale. They describe how values change over time and use the data to make a reasonable prediction.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can point to two values that support a trend, such as prices rising from $2 to $3.50. They can predict a likely next value and explain why it is not certain.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may mistake a steep-looking line for a large change without checking the vertical scale. They may treat a prediction as a sure outcome or confuse a one percentage point change with a one percent change.
How to Assess It
- Draw a line graph showing unemployment at 8%, 6%, 5%, and 4% over four years. Ask students to describe the trend, predict year five, and cite two values that support their answer.

Ways to Teach It
Pairs plot monthly egg prices of $2, $2.50, $3, and $3.50 on graph paper, label the axes, and predict month five.
Draw two wage charts using $12, $13, and $14, one starting at $0 and one at $11; ask which looks steeper and why.
Give pairs number cards marked 2, 3, 4, 5 and 8, 6, 4, 2; have them graph each set and predict the next value.
Post four weekly lunch prices of $4, $4.50, $5, and $5.50; ask whether three lunches next week will fit an $18 budget.
