Graphing Stories
Graphing stories
The ‘Graphing Stories’ collection is a collaborative project run by Dan Mayer and the ‘BuzzMath’ team. Each story comprises a video that shows a practical situation where a measure, such as height or weight, varies with time. The situation is then replayed at a slower rate to help enable the viewer to assess more clearly how the measurement varies and to then plot a graph of the story.
For each story there are sets of pre-prepared axes. The task is to draw a graph of the story. The initial scene in each video shows the scale to be used on the y-axis. The scale on the x-axis is always 15 units per division.
Each ‘story’ concludes with the answer being shown. This takes the format of a graph being superimposed over the video of the situation, with the graph being drawn in real time as the action takes place.

This sub-collection of resources from the ‘Graphing Stories’ collection contains situations that give rise to linear graphs. Some of the graphs contain proportional relationships, whist others show just linear relationships.
This sub-collection of resources from the ‘Graphing Stories’ collection contains situations that give rise to non-linear graphs. Additionally, some of the situations result in parabolas or graphs that are periodic.
This sub-collection of resources from the ‘Graphing Stories’ collection contains situations that give rise to jump discontinuities in graphs.
