“Well,” says Yolanda, “I know the mass of one, two, four, and eight bars. I should be able to predict the mass of any number of bars.”
  1. How can she predict the mass of three bars using the graph?
    1. Use the graph to predict the mass of 10 bars.
    2. Does your prediction from the graph match your prediction from the data table?

Complete the Investigating Mass vs. Number pages in the Student Activity Book to see if you get the same kind of pattern as Yolanda. You will be finding the mass of a number of objects your teacher gives you. Later you can use this information to help Yolanda find the weight of her oat bran bar packages.
