Life of Aaron
Imagine this graph showing one typical school day in Aaron’s life. You are going to fill in how he
spends his time. First study the blank graph. How much time does each section represent? Read
about Aaron’s day. Then follow the directions below.
Aaron gets up early to do his paper route. It takes about two hours. He returns home about
8:00 and has breakfast, then walks the half-hour to school at 8:30. He is in school from 9:00
to 3:00. At 3:30, he’s back home. He likes to get most of his homework over with right away,
so he studies from 3:30 to 5:00. From 5:00 to 6:00, he relaxes by watching TV or riding his
bike over to Jeff’s. Aaron’s family has dinner from 6:00 to 6:30. After dinner Aaron does the
dishes and other chores until about 7:30. From 7:30 to 8:30, he’s free to do whatever he
wants. Sometimes he plays computer games with his brother, sometimes he reads or works
on his model building. At 8:30, he puts in another half-hour of studying. Finally, he reads
until he falls asleep around 10:00. Then, it’s up again at 6:00 to deliver papers.Put Aaron’s day in order using 1–8. Then, calculate the total time for each activity. Use colored
pencils or markers to color the graph:
