Graphs In our ARB trials we have found students may have difficulty with
selecting an appropriate graph to communicate their findings
providing a title for the graph
naming the axes
reading the scale of the axes, and relating them to the shape of or trends in the graph
deciding on the appropriate scale to use when constructing graphs
marking sub-units on the axes at regular intervals (although occasionally marking at irregular intervals may be acceptable)
including the units of measure (plus any multipliers) on each axis of a graph
answering questions that involve calculations
plotting information from an article/ written text
identifying trends, explaining or synthesising relationships between two graphs, or two or more variables
reading the overall shape or trend of a graph
interpreting time/distance graphs. They read or construct them as a picture of what happened, for example interpreting when the line goes up as going uphill going back to the starting point to reach "home".
