This article discusses the effective instructional strategy of connecting stories to qualitative coordinate graphs. The article includes a lesson plan that incorporates story telling with mathematics. Students are encouraged to create a story about the graph. In order for students to properly tell a story about a graph, they must be able to describe the relationship between two concepts, events, or ideas. Students are able to reinforce the relationships within mathematics. They are also able to better understand the connections to other subjects outside of mathematics.
As a teacher I thought this article was beneficial. I liked that it included a lesson plan on how to use stories to explain graphs. The lesson plan was very detailed so there was no confusion on what to do. I liked that this article included the worksheets that were used in the lesson. Having those handouts is very helpful to have as a new teacher. As a new teacher I am worried about confusing the students, and the detail about the lesson that was provided in the article helped me fell more comfortable with the activity and instructional strategy.
