Graph the real world scenarios on the whiteboards. Ms. Gaffney is riding her bike to school. She leaves her house and goes 5 kilometers in 5 minutes at a constant speed. She then rides the next 10 kilometers to school in 15 minutes at a constant speed. Real World Scenarios V: 0

Graph the real world scenarios on the whiteboards. Marcos is quickly walking his dogs and they go 2 kilometers in 15 minutes. They then sit in the park and take a break for 15 minutes. They are feeling pretty good, so they decide to go for a run. They run 8 kilometers in 30 minutes. Real World Scenarios V: 0

Lucy has a bought a new motorcycle and is going on a long trip from her house to her mother’s house which is 400 miles away. She rides 50 miles in 2.5 hours (bad traffic), then travels 50 more miles in 2 hrs (still in traffic). She travels the next 50 miles in 1.5 hrs (traffic getting better), and travels the last 50 miles in 1 hour. (no traffic ) Real World Scenarios V: 0
