What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students read economic graphs, checking the labels, units, and dates. They describe the trend and use the data to predict what might happen next.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student points to values that show a rise, fall, or change in pace. They predict a reasonable next value and explain why it is uncertain.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may mistake a higher price for a faster rate of increase. They may ignore the vertical scale or assume a brief spike will continue.
How to Assess It
- Show a line graph of six weekly egg prices: $2.00, $2.20, $2.10, $2.40, $2.60, $2.50. Ask students to name the overall trend, predict week seven, and cite two values that support their prediction.
Lesson moves
Ways to Teach It
Have students plot six weekly egg prices on graph paper, label both axes, and add a predicted point for week seven.
Ask students to write why their week-seven egg price prediction might be wrong, even if the overall trend is clear.
Give pairs three small price charts with different vertical scales; have them name each trend and estimate the next value.
Display a local gas price chart from AAA; students use its four most recent points to predict next week's price.
