Data Tables
Data Tables
Data Tables are constructed using the following
rules:
1. They are enclosed in a box.
2. They have a title.
3. The manipulative variable (what you have
control over) is placed in the left column.
Proper units are added.
4. The responding variable (changes as a
result of the manipulative variable being
changed) is placed in the right column.
Proper units are added.

Interpolating
Your data table can be used to help
check possible answers. For
example, if you are interpolating or
selecting data points within
graphed data, you should be able to
predict the answer that you would find
on the graph using the data table. See
the next slide for an example.

Graphs
Graphs are used to show trends in your
data.
The five types of graphs are as follows:
1. Direct Relationship
2. Indirect Relationship
3. Inverse Square
4. Unlimited Growth
5. Limited Growth
Graph Construction
Be sure to do the following with your graph:
1. Give it a title
2. Plot the manipulative variable on the xaxis
Remember this is the variable that you have
control over.
3. Use consistent numbering on the axis
4. Draw a line of best fit.
5. Be sure to have units for the x and y axis
