Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
When describing numbers on a graph that are generally going up, you can use the words rise and increase, but if the numbers are going up quickly, you can use the word soared.
- •
When numbers on a graph are going down, you can use the general term decreased, but if the numbers are going down dramatically, you can say they plummeted.
- •
Adverbs like gradually, dramatically, and significantly can be used to more accurately describe the trends shown on a graph.
