A graph not only tells us who won the bike race, but also what happened during the race. Use this resource to help learners understand graphs. The commentary suggests waiting until the end of the year to introduce this topic, but why wait? Break the graph into intervals and help the learners understand what is going on with bikers Juan and Antonio during the race. The exercise gives a practical application to what algebra is about.
