• Post the picture of the graph that was the easiest to make a
conjecture.
• Write the conjecture (in a complete sentence) and explain
why this is the easiest.

• Write the conjecture (in a complete sentence) and explain
why this is the hardest.
• What was one misconception that you had during this
investigation?
• How were you about to overcome this misconception?
