Multiple representations of derivative data

Idea:

• Supply data tables in addition to graphs

Supply data tables in addition to graphs

I think table is not a right fit, as --

• it would to be confusing to look at so many 3 decimal data points.
• Also looking at table would limit the inferring the data for a later stage, when saying "which graph is more bendy"

Rather if we run a 5 minute primer on "how graphs represent data" might be helpful in the long run. Opinions?

@kaushikcfd I generally feel similarly. That said, the fall program is aimed at eighth-graders, not high schoolers, so we have to be even more careful in what we assume they can handle.

Rather if we run a 5 minute primer on "how graphs represent data" might be helpful in the long run.

Discussing with @mstegeorge, learning how graphs represent data appears to be a major learning goal at around their stage, and he mentioned that multiple representation may be helpful, despite the clutter.

@mstegeorge, we will explicitly have to rely on you (and Jana) to guide us here in terms of what's appropriate.
