Filling Glasses

If we were to fill a glass with water at a constant rate (for example, 1 cubic inch per minute), we could graph the height of the water in the glass as time goes by.

Suppose we fill the three glasses below in such a manner. Match up each glass with the graph that best describes the height of the water in the glass over time.

Explain why you matched each graph with each glass. Why do you think they belong together?

Extra Credit: Describe, or draw the glass in paint, that would correspond to the leftover graph.

MATCH THE GLASSES TO THE GIVEN GRAPHS

Here are extra credit winners. They did draw the final glass correctly. Although there were many submissions, everyone seemed to forget the glass needed to come back in at the top.
