Fill Graph Pairs If the container is gradually filled with a steady flow of water which height-time graph would be produced?

Travel Graphs Video Learn about distance-time graphs, speed-time graphs and how to interpret them.

Travel Graphs Test your understanding of distance time graphs and speed time graphs (velocity time graph) with this self-marking exercise.

Compound Units Practise using compound units such as speed, unit pricing and density to solve problems.

Graphs This topic includes algebraic and statistical graphs including bar charts, line graphs, scatter graphs and pie charts. A graph is a diagram which represents a relationship between two or more sets of numbers or categories. The data items are shown as points positioned relative to axes indicating their values. Pupils are typically first introduced to simple bar charts and learn to interpret their meaning and to draw their own. More sophisticated statistical graphs are introduced as the pupil's mathematical understanding develops. Pupils also learn about coordinates as a pre-requisite for understanding algebraic graphs. They then progress to straight line graphs before learning to work with curves, gradients, intercepts, regions and, for older pupils, calculus.

Lesson Starters

Here are some suggestions for whole-class, projectable resources which can be used at the beginnings of each lesson in this block.

1st Lesson

Fly Catching

Find which whole number divided by another whole number gives the answer: 1.090909091

2nd Lesson

How many of Each?

Pens cost 12p each, Pencils cost 9p each, Richard spent 72p altogether. How many pens and pencils did he buy?

3rd Lesson

Nine Digit Sum

Arrange the digits one to nine to make a correct addition calculation.

4th Lesson

Paradox

Can you solve this paradox by agreeing whether the statements are right or wrong?

5th Lesson

Four's Independence

A clock face containing only the number 4. Can you make a clock face containing any other single number?

6th Lesson

Refreshing Revision

It is called Refreshing Revision because every time you refresh the page you get different revision questions.

Some of the Starters above are to reinforce concepts learnt, others are to introduce new ideas while others are on unrelated topics designed for retrieval practice or and opportunity to develop problem-solving skills.
