Understanding Variables and Graphs

The video tutorial explains how to represent a mathematical scenario in multiple ways, including using a table, equation, verbal description, and graph. The scenario involves Manuel adding turtles to his habitat each month. The tutorial demonstrates setting up a table with x and y values, deriving an equation, creating a verbal description, and plotting the data on a graph to visualize the relationship and make predictions.

• Poem

• Table

What is the purpose of setting up a table in the video?

• To draw a map

• To create a shopping list

• To organize data and identify patterns

• To list all possible scenarios

What are the columns in the table used for?

• X values, Y values, and Process

• Names, Dates, and Locations

• Colors, Shapes, and Sizes

• Animals, Plants, and Minerals

What is the independent variable in the scenario?

• Number of months

• Number of trees

• Number of turtles

• Number of birds

What is the dependent variable in the scenario?

• Number of months

• Number of turtles

• Number of birds
