Narrative
The first partner spins to get a group of coins. They write a question that compares the amount they spun to a different group of coins that they make up.


Mathematical concept/skill options: 
A. Solve problems involving measurement and estimation of intervals of time, liquid volumes, and masses of objects.
B. Represent and interpret data.
C. Geometric measurement: understand concepts of volume and relate volume to multiplication and to addition.
D. Geometric measurement: recognize perimeter as an attribute of plane figures and distinguish between linear and area measures.
E. Describe and compare measurable attributes.
F. Geometric measurement: understand concepts of angle and measure angles.
G. Convert like measurement units within a given measurement system.
H. Geometric measurement: understand concepts of area and relate area to multiplication and to addition.
I. Measure and estimate lengths in standard units.
J. Classify objects and count the number of objects in each category.
K. Tell and write time.
L. Solve problems involving measurement and conversion of measurements from a larger unit to a smaller unit.
M. Measure lengths indirectly and by iterating length units.
N. Work with time and money.
O. Relate addition and subtraction to length.

problem_activity: Optional activity
This activity is similar to the previous activity in that students are interpreting a graph and making sense of what situation the graph is representing. The difference here is that the specificity with numbers has been removed, so students need to think a bit more abstractly about what the changes in the graph represent and how they connect to the situation.
Monitor for students describing the graph with different levels of detail, particularly for any students who state that the car got up to speed faster than the car slowed down to 0.
Teacher Notes for IM 6–8 Math Accelerated
This activity is required.
Launch
Give students 1–2 minutes of quiet work time, followed by a whole-class discussion.
Engagement: Develop Effort and Persistence.
Break the class into small discussion groups and then invite a representative from each group to report back to the whole class. All group members should be prepared to share if invited.
Supports accessibility for: Attention; Social-emotional skills

Are you ready for more?
The graph models the speed of a car over a function of time during a
3-hour trip. How far did the car go over the course of the trip?
There is a nice way to visualize this quantity in terms of the graph. Can you find it?

Activity Synthesis
The purpose of this activity is for students to connect what is happening in a graph to a situation. Display the graph for all to see. Select previously identified students to share the situation they came up with. Sequence students from least descriptive to most descriptive. Have students point out the parts on the graph as they share their story about the situation.
Consider asking the following questions:
“Did the car speed up faster or slow down faster? How do you know?” (The car sped up faster because the first part of the model is steeper than the third part of the model.)
“How did you know that the car stayed that speed for a period of time?” (The graph stays at the same height for a while, so the speed was not changing during that time.)
Reading, Writing, Conversing: MLR1 Stronger and Clearer Each Time.
Use this routine to provide students with a structured opportunity to revise and refine the explanation of their thinking about the shape and patterns in the graph. After students have written a response to the task statement, ask students to meet with 2–3 partners in a row for feedback. Each time, partners should explain their thinking without reading from their written work. Provide students with prompts for feedback that will help students strengthen their ideas and clarify their language (e.g., “How do you know that from the graph?”, “What in the graph makes you think that?”, “Can you give an example?”, etc.). Students can borrow ideas and language from each partner to strengthen their final version.
