Time Graph 2
Maths Resource Description
The "Time Graph Pack 2" is a teaching resource designed to help children interpret line graphs and construct corresponding tables. The pack includes a collection of line graphs that depict various scenarios, but without accompanying data tables. Teachers are advised to pair up students and assign them a graph to interpret. The objective is for the students to analyze the graph and create a matching table that accurately represents the data. This exercise encourages students to engage with the data more deeply, as they will also be tasked with formulating their own questions based on the graph and the table they have created. It is recommended that teachers demonstrate this process to the entire class before the students begin their independent work.
Among the graphs included in the pack, one illustrates the temperature at the seaside during a summer holiday, with different temperatures recorded for each day of the week. Another graph tracks ice cream sales numbers across the days of the week, with a special note that the blue line represents the first week of school holidays. Additionally, there is a graph showing the growth of a sunflower over six weeks, with the red line indicating the sunflower belonging to Year 5. Lastly, the pack features a graph detailing the weight progression of a baby over a six-month period. These varied examples provide a range of contexts for students to practice their data interpretation and table-making skills.
