Here is some data for different situations. For each one, draw a suitable line
graph and then prepare a worksheet for your friends asking questions about the
data. Think very carefully about what is happening in each situation and ask
some interesting questions about them. Some hints are given.

1. A party of hikers walks in a straight line from Puddle Town to Splash Point.
They measure the height they are above sea level every ten minutes. The table
shows the results.
Time (Mins) Height (m) Time (Mins) Height (m)

90 62 210 135
100 64 220 138
110 75 230 100

Ask questions about the heights at different times, about how many hills the hikers walked
over and where did they climb the greatest distance in the shortest time.

2. Some warm water was put into a container and allowed to cool. A little
while later some ice was dropped into the water and stirred. Later still some hot
water was poured in and mixed. This table shows the temperature at different
times.

1. A rocket is launched and the speed recorded every half minute. The rocket is
in two stages. This means that a large engine fires first and gets the rocket
going and then this and its fuel tank falls back to earth and a second engine
takes over, pushing the rocket into its final orbit. This table shows the speed
every half minute.

Ideas Page

Here are some examples of what pupils can do to fulfil the rest of the work
covered in this module:

Graphs

1. Find examples of graphs in newspapers and magazines. Which ones show

just the top of the graph? How does this affect the way we view the graph?

2. Can you find any graphs in which the axes are not labelled or the scales not
clearly marked?

3. Can you find any block graphs in which greater values are indicated not
only by taller columns, but also by wider columns, thus creating the
appearance of artificially enlarged values?

4. Find examples of pictograms in which symbols represent quantities. Are

these easy to read and interpret?

Computer Work

1. Use some of the data found below about pupil dimensions. Hints for its use
are also given, but the analysis and manipulation of this data can be done
with a database or spreadsheet program.

2. Purchase professional databases such as a full census return for a Victorian

village. Use a database or spreadsheet program to analyse this data, draw
graphs etc.

3. Collect your own data and enter this onto a database. There are many
possibilities, but one is a database on cars. Fields could include registration
number, make, model, colour, miles driven, age and miles per litre.

Extension Work
Measure the pulse rate of everyone in the class when at rest. Record the
results carefully.

Now do some vigorous exercise and measure everyone's pulse rate again.
Record the results carefully.

Put everyone's results in a table like the one below. You will need to count the
number of people in each interval of 20 beats per minute. (You may need to extend the
intervals at the low end or the high end if you have very low or very high pulse rates.)

Remember:

50 < p < 60 means pulse rates more than or equal to 50 and less
than 60.

Eg. 50 and 56 would be included in this range, but 60 would be in the

next higher range.

Draw a frequency block graph of your results and answer these questions:

a) What was the mode (the most common weight interval)?

b) What was the range of weights for the whole class?

Now regroup your results in 10 kg intervals and draw another

frequency block graph with the new intervals.

c) What was the mode from the new graph?

d) What was the range from the new graph?

e) Which graph was more useful, the one with 5 kg intervals or the one with
10 kg intervals? Why?

Can you now think of your own experiment? Collect the data, put
it into class intervals and draw a frequency block graph.

Find the mode and the range of your data.

Re-arrange the data with new class intervals and draw another
frequency block graph.

Which interval is the more useful?

 Introducing pie charts
Maths worksheets from urbrainy.com

I love all sorts of pies; steak, chicken, pork. Yummy!

I also like pie charts, but they can be quite tricky to
work with, so here is a simple introduction.

A pie chart is a bit like a pie. It is a different way of

displaying data, usually percentages or fractions of a
b
whole amount.

a A pie chart is a circle which has been divided up into

slices cut from the middle to the edge.
c
The slices do not have to be the same size – the bigger
d the slice the bigger the amount it represents.

Look at the pie chart on the left. It shows how 40

children go to school.
40 children go to school.
a: walk b: bus c: car d: bike

1. From the pie chart can you work out how many children walk to school?

Slice a is half the circle, so half the 40 children walk to school. Answer: …………..

2. From the pie chart can you work out how many children catch the bus to school?

Slice b is quarter of the circle, so a quarter of the 40 children

catch the bus to school. Answer: …………..

3. From the pie chart can you work out how many children go to school in a car?

Slice c is half of a quarter, which is an eighth of the whole,

so one eighth of the 40 children go to school in a car. Answer: …………..

4. From the pie chart can you work out how many children go to school by bike.

Slice d is the same size as slice c. Answer: …………..

This is a very easy pie chart because it is divided exactly into a half, a quarter and eighths. To
understand more about pie charts you need to know that there are 3600 in a circle and you will
also need to know how to use a protractor.

Here is a pie chart that shows children’s favourite

fruit.
It has been cut into 6 equal slices.
Remember, a full circle has 3600 so each slice will
have an angle of 360 ÷ 6 which is 600.

The pie chart represents the choices of 60 children.

Making a pie chart

Today we are going to make a pie chart using data

from a survey of children’s favourite foods.

The key thing is to remember: a full circle has 3600.

Here is a table of the results of children’s favourite foods:

Salad: 2 Fish and Chips: 6 Curry: 4 Roast Beef: 8

The first thing we need to do is add up all the totals to find out how many children took part in
the survey.

2 + 6 + 4 = 8 = 20

20 children will make up the whole pie chart, which has 3600.

One child would be represented by 3600 ÷ 20 = 180.

1. We can now work out the angle needed for the number of children who chose each food.

Salad: 180 x 2 = 360 Fish and Chips: 180 x 6 = 1080

Curry: 180 x 4 = 720 Roast Beef: 180 x 8 = 1440

Now draw a pie chart to represent the 20 children’s choices of food. The first slice of 360 has
been measured and drawn for you. You will need a protractor to draw the other angles.

When you have finished colour the pie chart:

salad: yellow fish and chips: red curry: blue roast beef: green

Can you give a number for the probability of these events happening?

a) Throwing a die and getting a 2.

b) Throwing a die and getting an even number.

c) Throwing a die and getting a zero.

d) Throwing a die and getting a number greater than 4.

e) Throwing a die and getting a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6.

f) Tossing a coin and getting a tail.

1.
Here are some simple experiments. Think about them carefully
and then work out the probability of the event happening.

a) A bag contains six blue balls and four green balls. One ball is chosen
without looking at its colour. What is the probability it is green?

b) A spinner has the numbers from 1 to 20 on it. If it is spun, what is the

probability of getting an even number?

c) A spinner has the numbers from 1 to 20 on it. If it is spun, what is the

probability of getting a prime number?

d) A milkcrate contains ten red top and four silver top bottles of milk. A bird
lands on one of the milk bottles. What is the probability it lands on a silver
top?

e) Twenty cards are laid out on a table. Four are green. Six are yellow. Ten are
blue. A boy throws a dart at the table. If the dart hits one of the cards, what
is the probability it is a yellow card?

f) Six boys and five girls are in a lift. One of the children feels ill. What is the
probability it is one of the boys?

g) A factory has sixteen workshops. Accidents happened in three of them

today. What is the probability of working in a workshop which had an
accident?

h) In a batch of 1 000 nails, twelve were faulty. If one of the nails is chosen at
random, what is the probability it is a faulty one?

Now draw a probability line from 0 to 1 and put the above events on the
line in the correct places.
