• Between what years do we start to see a slight increase in the per capita GDP?
• Around what year do we start to see a significant change in the per capita GDP?
• What does this change look like compared to previous years?

• Make a graph from the data above.

• How does graphing the data better help you answer the previous questions?
MATH ACTIVITY
• GDP remains relatively

• In the year 1500 there is a

slight increase in GDP. This
slight increase continues until
