Max Maths, Year 5, Practice, Changing the scale on the vertical axis (2)

In the Max Maths Year 5 practice exercise, students are challenged to interpret data from a line graph and identify which table accurately reflects the recorded measurements. The task focuses on the height of water at a beach jetty over a series of time points, from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. The graph's vertical axis is scaled in centimetres (cm) to represent the water height, and students must compare the given tables to determine which one matches the graph's data correctly.

The tables present different sets of figures for the heights at each hour, and students must use their analytical skills to verify the correct sequence of measurements. Each table lists the times from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. and provides a corresponding height in centimetres. The objective is to put a tick next to the table that correctly shows the water heights as they were depicted in the line graph. This exercise not only tests the students' ability to read and interpret graphical data but also reinforces the importance of attention to detail when transferring data between different formats.
