Graphs and Diagrams: Drawing Line Graphs

Challenge children to think about the scales they will need to use as they begin drawing line graphs of their own.

This lesson's included slides begin by showing your KS2 class a line graph to interpret before giving them the chance to construct their own line graphs. They'll be shown the methods they need for selecting appropriate scales and plotting data points accurately. To help children practise their line graph drawing skills there's a choice of differentiated learning activities with worksheets, too. A more challenging activity for your higher-attaining learners is included, where they'll be challenged to construct a line graph with more than one line.

This is the fourth of five lessons included in the 'Graphs & Diagrams' scheme of work for Year 5.
