Your Task: As a team, do the following:
• Draw a graph (on graph paper)
showing all of the racers’ progress
over time.
• Write an equation for each participant.

Rules:
• Your study team must work cooperatively to solve the problems. No team
member has enough information to solve the puzzle alone!
• Each member of the team will select rider A, B, C, or D. You may not show
your card to your team. You may only communicate the information
contained on the card.
• Assume that each racer travels at a constant rate throughout the race.
