Your Task…

Lets make another table…
Use the temperature data to make a another table. Then use the new table to find a pattern and draw a conclusion.
TEMPATURE DATA: At 10am, the temperature was 72°F. At noon, it was
85°F. At 2pm, it was 90°F. At 4pm, it was 94°F. At 6pm it was 92°F.

Think-Pair-Share
Think- 1. How does a table help you organize data? 2. Why do you think the data in the last table
was arranged from earliest to latest time instead of from lowest to highest temperature?
Pair- Talk with the people sitting in your row. Do they agree?
Share- Raise your hand to share with the class and Ms. Jones what you have discussed and agreed upon.
