5 Describe the rainfall in city B. (Think about which months have the same amount of rain. Which
months do not have the same amount of rain? How much more rain is there in these months?)

The rainfall in city B is low cause there is only few of rain during
__________________________________________________________________________________
feb which is the highest.
__________________________________________________________________________________

__________________________________________________________________________________
6 How is the rainfall in city B different from the rainfall in city A? (Make a general statement about the
rainfall in the two cities. Then compare when each is the wettest and when each is the driest.)

In city A there is a lot of rainfall so it is more damp or it is the wettest.


__________________________________________________________________________________

__________________________________________________________________________________
In city B there is less rainfall so it is more dry than in city A.

1 If you were asked to present these data in some form of graph, how would you do it?
Why would you choose this method?

i would use the bar chart. It is more suitable for the table.

Worksheet 5.5
Looking at temperature data
Additional notes
1 Think about which would be most helpful a line graph or a bar chart?
Things you need to think about are:
• If I use a line graph, can I join the points together? Would that make any sense?
• What am I trying to do here: compare each month or link each month?
2 Look for the month with the highest temperature in the chart.
3 The word range means from the highest to the lowest temperature.
4 The word consecutive means following on from each other.
Work out the change in temperature each month and write it alongside the line of the table
between the two months.
Has the temperature gone up or gone down? (For example, between January and February
the average monthly temperature increased by 1 °C; between February and March it increased
by 3 °C.)
Find the months that have the biggest difference.
5 How often do you think the temperature would have been taken? Every day? Many times a day?
At different times of the day?
How is the average worked out?
