Clare describes her morning at school yesterday: “I entered the school on the first floor, then walked up to the third floor and stayed for my class for an hour. Afterwards, I had an hour-long class in the basement, and after that I went back to the ground level and sat outside to eat my lunch." Sketch a possible graph of her height from the ground floor as a function of time.

A bird flies out of its nest.  This graph represents the distance it flies from its nest (in meters) as a function of time (in seconds).

Place a X to mark the point on the graph that represents the bird’s greatest distance from its nest.

Place a O to mark the point that represents the bird’s return to its nest.
