An equation containing a variable may be true for just one value of the variable. In formation is organized into simple tables and graphs to identify relationships. Mathematical statements can be used to describe the magnitudes of change one quantity has on another. The graphic display of numbers may help to show patterns such as trends, varying rates of change, gaps,or clusters. Written, verbal presentations can be used to interpret and expand more abstract mathematical concepts.
