To match the children's spending patterns with the graphs based on the descriptions provided:
-
Karrie: She spent a small amount in the first half and then the rest in the second half. This would be represented by a graph that shows a slow decrease in money spent initially and then a steep drop-off when she spends the rest.
-
Luke: He spent his money steadily throughout the month. His spending would be represented by a linear graph that decreases gradually and consistently over time.
-
Mason: He rapidly spent all of his money in the first half of the month. This would be a graph that shows a steep drop in the first half and then horizontal (no spending) for the second half of the month.
Based on these descriptions, you can assign the responses as follows:
- Mason: Insert his name with the graph that shows rapid spending in the first half and none in the second.
- Luke: Insert his name with the graph that shows a steady decrease in spending over the entire month.
- Karrie: Insert her name with the graph that shows a small decrease in spending initially and then a larger drop in the second half of the month.
Now, you can input the responses accordingly to match each child with their correct spending graph.
