Graph stories are a fun and open-ended way to explore continuous line graphs. As you know, if you have heard me talk about maths planning, I feel that data handling in the primary curriculum is a tool or form of communication that can be used to support the teaching and learning in all the other maths topics.
The data table can be hidden so that you can ask questions about the graph, for example, what a horizontal section on the graph means. As data is changed the line graph is updated. Points on the graph can be dragged up or down to create new graphs and see the data change in the data table. The maximum value on the vertical axis can be changed.
This Maths planning tool, which is based on the UK National Curriculum APP levels, is fully searchable and categorised into different assessment focuses, including number, fractions, decimals, percentages, problem solving, shape, measures, time, angles and data handling. It gives you the sublevel for every single Maths objective and is useful to ensure coverage of the UK national curriculum.
The Stories of Graphs. The graph tells us a story, the story of a journey. 1) Draw arrows to show which bits of the story connect to each paragraph. 2) How can you tell when Dave stopped just by looking at the graph? 3) How can you work out the speed Dave travelled for different parts of his journey?
Line graphs display information in a visual way and are useful to show trends and allow people to extrapolate further information. As an example, let's see what the following line graph can tell us: Firstly, let's check the vocabulary of the line graph. The 'x-axis' is the horizontal line where the times are written on our graph. The 'y-axis.
KS2 Handling data - line graphs; Handling data - line graphs. This activity addresses several National Curriculum (England and Wales) requirements at Key Stage 2 and covers the following Learning Objectives defined by the National Numeracy Strategy Guidelines: Year 6 Spring, Unit 7-8, Handling Data. Learning Objectives 115 and 117.
Try moving Mr Pearson and his dog using your computer mouse. The graph shows how far Mr Pearson is walking from his house after a certain amount of time. What happens to the graph once Mr Pearson gets back to his house after his walk? Can you make a curved line on the graph? Describe how Mr Pearson must walk to create this curve.
In diagrams, we often draw and show changing position along a horizontal line and then plot it along a vertical one. Links and Resources. The Universe and More (graph game) An interactive game-like approach to learning about the various motion graphs you need to cover in physics. It’s fun but the game is well thought through and it’s almost.
