Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 5.58 Measure and Graph Shadow Data skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
Use the planned line graph and direction chart for one pole: lengths 78, 46, 21, 19, 44, and 76 cm at 7 a.m., 9 a.m., 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 3 p.m., and 5 p.m.; directions west, west-northwest, north, north, east-northeast, and east. Which summary best uses all the data?
Athe pole became shorter at midday
Bthe graph shows no pattern
Cshadows were longest when the Sun was lower, shortest around midday, and their direction shifted across the day
Dshadows were shortest in the morning and did not change direction
Solution & Explanation:The values are longest in early morning and late afternoon, shortest near midday, and the direction chart shows a clear directional shift.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
A group concludes, 'Our graph proves shadows only change on sunny days.' Why is that conclusion too broad?
Agraphs cannot show shadow data
Btheir graph shows only one investigation and does not test every condition
Csunny days have no shadows
Dshadows are not measurable
Solution & Explanation:One graph from one investigation does not prove what happens in every possible condition.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A table shows shadow lengths of 81, 68, 55, 42, 29, and 16 cm at 7 a.m., 8 a.m., 9 a.m., 10 a.m., 11 a.m., and noon. If the pattern keeps shrinking by 13 cm each hour, what length is predicted for 1 p.m.?
Solution & Explanation:Each measurement decreases by 13 cm, so 16 - 13 = 3 cm at 1 p.m.
