Reading and interpreting line graphs

Maths

Line graphs and timetables

The temperature is gradually getting cooler

The temperature is gradually getting warmer

On a line graph measuring the temperature of a city between 6AM and 6PM, a line gradually going down (decreasing) would indicate which of the following things?

The car has increased its speed during the journey

The car has turned around and is heading home

The car is driving slowly in a 20mph zone

On a line graph measuring the distance travelled by a person in a car, a flat line could suggest which of the following statements?

Go up and down repeatedly like a wiggly line

On a line graph measuring temperatures of a city, what would you usually expect to see the data line to be doing during the hours of 6AM and 12PM?

The highest temperature of the day was recorded at 3PM

The temperature at midnight was the coldest time of the day

The temperature decreased most rapidly between 3PM and 6PM

The temperature recorded at 9AM and 6PM was the same

Look carefully at the line graph.  Which of the following statements is NOT true?

The Line Graph below recorded the average temperature of a country across a 12 month period. However, unfortunately the title has been rubbed out. Looking at the data, can you identify which country the data could represent?

Every line graph must include which of the following features?

During the lesson we worked together to interpret different line graphs. Can you identify a suitable synonym for the word 'interpret'?

The temperature stayed the same over time

Look at the line graph below. Which of the following statements is true?
