Zach is 11. His older cousin Becky
helped him learn about coordinate
graphing, by creating a graph of
their ages.

How did….?
-Coordinate graphing is a visual tool that can be used to analyze the relationship between ordered pairs of information.
-Functions can be represented in a variety of forms including words, symbols, tables, and graphs.
-Functions can be determined by finding the patterns within a set of ordered pairs.
-The horizontal and/or vertical distance between ordered pairs on a coordinate graph tells you the change between the values within a given situation.
