Lesson Plan: Time Series Graphs
This lesson plan includes the objectives, prerequisites, and exclusions of the lesson teaching students how to plot and interpret time series graphs.
Objectives
Students will be able to
- understand that a time series shows how a value varies with time,
- plot a time series graph from a table of values,
- extract values of a quantity at given times from a time series graph,
- predict the value of a quantity in the future by extrapolating a linear time series graph.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- coordinate planes.
Exclusions
Students will not cover
- modeling a time series graph.
