options: Represent real world and mathematical problems by graphing points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane, and interpret coordinate values of points in the context of the situation.

Use a pair of perpendicular number lines, called axes, to define a coordinate system, with the intersection of the lines (the origin) arranged to coincide with the 0 on each line and a given point in the plane located by using an ordered pair of numbers, called its coordinates. Understand that the first number indicates how far to travel from the origin in the direction of one axis, and the second number indicates how far to travel in the direction of the second axis, with the convention that the names of the two axes and the coordinates correspond (e.g., x-axis and x-coordinate, y-axis and y-coordinate).
problem_activity: Problem 1
The data table below shows the weight of a typical male greyhound, a breed of dog, during the first 28 months of his life. Graph the corresponding points, then connect the points in the order they are given to form a line graph.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"align": "center", "class": ["table", "table-bordered"], "style": "table-layout:fixed; width:30%"}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "background-color:#eeeeee; text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Age (in months)"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "background-color:#eeeeee; text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Weight (in pounds)"}]}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "0"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "4"}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "4"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "30"}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "8"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "55"}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "12"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "66"}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "16"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "69"}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "20"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "72"}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "24"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "72"}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "28"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "72"}]}]}]}]}
What do you notice? What do you wonder?
Problem 2
Using the information about a typical male greyhound’s weight from Anchor Task #1, answer the following questions.
How much does a typical male greyhound weigh when he is born?
What does the coordinate pair (12, 66) mean in the context of this graph?
How much weight does the typical male greyhound gain in the first 4 months of his life? How do you know? What about between 4 months and 8 months? How do you know?
How long does it take the typical male greyhound to grow from 55 to 72 pounds?
Challenge: When does the typical male greyhound gain weight the fastest? How do you know? What about the slowest?
Problem 3
Using the information about the typical male greyhound’s weight from Anchor Task #1, answer the following questions.
How heavy do you think a typical male greyhound gets? How do you know from the graph?
At what age do male greyhounds reach their full weight? Why?
How heavy do you think a typical female greyhound gets? Why?
