What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students read the titles, axes, units, and dates on economic charts and graphs. They describe changes using numbers from the graph. They use those changes to make a prediction.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can find the largest change on a price or employment graph and support it with values. They can estimate a future value, explain their reasoning, and say why the estimate might be wrong.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may read dates as values or mistake percentages for counts. A cropped vertical axis can make a small change look large. Students may also assume a steady rise will continue at the same rate.
How to Assess It
- Draw a line graph of milk prices: 2023, $3; 2024, $3.50; 2025, $4. Ask students to describe the trend, estimate a 2026 price, and cite two values.

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs a table of monthly grocery prices and graph paper; have them plot prices, circle the largest change, and predict next month.
Show two graphs of the same wage data with different vertical scales; ask, “Which makes the change look larger, and why?”
Play trend sort with cards showing unemployment and price graphs; students label each rising, falling, or flat and defend one prediction.
Compare a printed six-month gas price chart with today's posted price; have students predict next month's price and explain why it might differ.
