Constructing a line graph

Today we will be constructing our very own line graphs and presenting different data. We will then be able to interpret and compare the data presented to answer questions and create a series of factual statements.

Constructing a Line Graph Quiz

Well done, that was an action packed lesson on constructing line graphs but you didn't falter! There is just one thing left to do now and that is to show what you know by completing the questions in the quiz below. Please take your time when interpreting the line graphs as there is a lot of information contained within them. Good luck!

Question 1

Question 2

Question 3

Question 4

Question 5

Q1.Look closely at the line graph below. Which one of the statements is true?

2016 was the the most successful year for Sally's Sweet Shop. 2018 was the most profitable year. 2017 was a more profitable year for the shop than 2016. December has always been the most profitable month for each year.

Q2.Look carefully at the line graph below. Since Sally's Sweet Shop opened in 2016, how many months has the shop made a net profit of over £1600?

1 3 5 0

2/5

Q3.Look carefully at the graph below. Which of the following statements is false?

Sally's Sweet Shop has decreased in profits each year. The profits of the shop always increase between April and August. Every year, the shop make more profit in December than at any other time of the year. The shop always sees an increase in profit between July and August.

Q4.Look carefully at both the line graph and table below. The data point for which Olympic Games has been incorrectly plotted according to the information in table?

1996 Atlanta 2000 Sydney 2004 Athens 2008 Beijing

4/5

Q5.During the lesson, we looked at how data from a table might look if it was presented using a different chart. Below is the Pie Chart we discussed. Can you remember why it would be unsuitable to show the data from the medals table?

It doesn't show how many medals have been won by the USA at each of the six Olympic Games. It doesn't show how well the USA did at each of the Olympic Games. It doesn't split the data into individual sections to represent each of the different Olympic Games. It doesn't visually show patterns or changes in the data over a period of time.
