Summary:
This lesson unit is intended to help you assess how well students are able to interpret distance–time graphs. As graphing is a boundary object used in both mathematics and science, this lesson can be used in both subjects. To share student work and promote discussion on the student thinking, tablets and interactive whiteboards are used.
