    In class we had a white board disscussion about question #1(position and time graph) We had one problem with this graph: what was the slope? Some people said velocity others speed. We came to the conclusion that the slope was the rate at which the cyclist were traveling. 
  We also discussed Question #2(position and time graph). This one we didn't come into any problems. However there was one interesting question. How does the motion of the cyclist A in the new graph compare to that of A in the previous graph? We answered this by saying in the first graph cyclist A traveled away from the reference point. In the second graph, A traveled toward the reference point. 
  In conclusion, this class was very informative. This helped me further understand position and time graphs.

    Hey Ashley! :)

    I really liked the pictures! I think you totally grasped the main idea behind the difference between the graphs. I only wish you said something in class along those lines! I really liked the pictures, though! I read through your other posts, and it seemed like you are really understanding what's going on now. I know who I'm coming to if I have questions now! ;) And if you ever get confused or want to ask me something, I'd love to help if I can!

    You're awesome, Ashley! :)

    Good blog and nice idea with the pictures. One suggestion- include what you think the answer is to bring another perspective other than the class as a whole.

    Wow this student commenting on student's blogs is really working! Great comments you two. It's like you are in my head! But I have one more question... You said the difference between the two graphs was the direction. Was the speed the same? How do you know?
