Max Maths, Year 5, Work Book, Changing the scale on the vertical axis

The "Max Maths, Year 5, Work Book" presents a series of engaging exercises on data handling, focusing on reading and constructing graphs. Practice 1 involves interpreting a line graph that tracks the changes in Jade's savings account over the course of a year. Pupils are tasked with identifying the month when Jade's savings were at their lowest, pinpointing the exact savings at various months, and determining the period during which she saved the most. Additionally, they must calculate the difference in savings between two specified months, identify the months where the savings were most frequently at a particular amount, and make an inference about when Jade might have made a significant purchase based on the changes in her savings.

Subsequent activities delve into different scenarios where students interpret line graphs related to real-life situations. They assess the attendance at a sports carnival throughout the day, determine the mode number of attendees, and speculate on the event's end time. Another task involves analyzing a graph showing the temperature changes of water in a freezer over time, calculating the temperature drop at specific intervals. Additionally, students examine the sales data of a noodle shop, identifying peak sales times and the number of bowls sold at different times of the day. The workbook also includes exercises on zoo visitor numbers, where students work out the total, differences, and combined visitor counts for certain days, and hypothesize on which day the zoo might have been closed. Finally, they assist Tya in representing the growth of her seedling over ten weeks in a line graph, using the provided height measurements.
