Your task is to present a report showing the change in population between
1930 and 1980.
1. Round the data, then make a table and line graph (not a bar graph)
to display the data in a way that would best highlight the change.
2. Write two statements about the change in population in the U.S. between
1930 and 1980.
3. Using the information from your chart or graph, write and solve an
addition or subtraction word problem.
