Max Maths, Year 6, Work Book, Review of pictograms, block graphs, bar graphs and line graphs (4)
Maths Resource Description
In the Max Maths Year 6 workbook, Practice 4 offers a review of line graphs through a series of questions that help students interpret the data presented. The first set of questions is based on a line graph that depicts the number of customers in a café throughout the week. Students are asked to determine the number of customers on Thursday, the total number from Monday to Wednesday, identify the busiest day, and calculate the combined total of customers on Saturday and Sunday. This exercise not only reinforces their ability to read line graphs but also enhances their analytical skills in understanding real-life data.
The second set of questions focuses on a line graph representing the temperature of water in a freezer over time. Students must calculate the change in temperature between the 15th and 20th minutes, find out the temperature at the 45th minute, determine the time it takes for the water temperature to drop to 5°C, and identify the time interval during which the temperature experiences the most significant drop. These questions challenge the students to apply their knowledge of line graphs to a scientific context, helping them to comprehend how temperature can change over time and the rate at which it can fluctuate.
