Points That Mean Something
1After 3 weeks, the plant is 5 cm tall. The first number is across: 3 weeks. The second is up: 5 centimeters.
25 Go across to 3 on the weeks line, then look at how high the dot is.
34 Find 8 on the height line, then look straight across to the dot and read the weeks.
4Graph 3 Weeks go across, so 2 is the across number. Height goes up, so 5 is the up number.
5True The dot is 3 across and 6 up: 3 weeks and 6 dollars.
6False The dot is 3 across and 6 up: that is 3 weeks and 6 dollars, not 6 weeks and 3 dollars.
7How many blocks Cleo has walked The up number is the blocks walked. The across number, 5, is the minutes.
81-C, 2-A, 3-D, 4-B Find the weeks across first, then go up to the centimeters.
93, 1, 2, 4 Across comes first, then up.
108 Each week the dot goes up 2 more, so 2, 4, 6, then 8.
114 Read the height at P (1) and at Q (5). Then 5 − 1 = 4.
