Line graphs (page 294)
Plot it (Teacher Resource Sheet 127)
(This activity could be used to introduce line graphs on page 294.)
This displays an empty line graph and some data.
You could use it to demonstrate how to draw a line graph by asking particular students to create titles, choose appropriate labels and plot the points.
What can you tell? (Teacher Resource Sheet 128)
(This activity could be used in a discussion with a group or class when teaching line graphs, page 294)
This displays some real-life line graphs and asks students to notice and share information that they were able to gather from the graphs.
Displaying and analysing data (page 296)
Pair up (Getting started 18)
(This could be used to introduce students to the different types of graphs that can be used to display data in conjunction with Displaying and analysing data on page 296.)
This displays the Getting started on page 290.
You could ask students which graph they think displays the data better and what the information on the graph might be used for.
Recap on graphs (Teacher Resource Sheet 129)
(This sheet could be used in conjunction with Displaying and analysing data page 296, or you could use it for students to refer to when they draw graphs.)
This displays a checklist for students to refer to when checking if they have included all of the things a graph must have, such as a title and so on.
What is my main message? (Teacher Resource Sheet 130)
(This sheet could be used prior to Activity 2 on page 298 to warm students up to identifying the main message from a graph.)
This displays some graphs and students are asked what question might have been asked and what the answers would have been.
Comparing two sets of data (page 303)
Am I correct? (Teacher Resource Sheet 131)
(This could be used in conjunction with the teaching section Comparing two sets of data on page 303 or as a warm up to Activity 3 on page 304.)
This displays some pairs of graphs to compare with a statement underneath. Students are asked to say whether or not the statement is correct
Sort these (Teacher Resource Sheet 132)
(This activity could be used prior to Activity 3 question 4 on page 307.)
This displays some data cards for you to print for students to sort in two different ways.
