AC9M5ST02 Year 5 Mathematics

This Content Descriptor from Year 5 Mathematics provides the specific knowledge and skills students should learn. Use it to plan lessons, create learning sequences, and design assessments that align with the Australian Curriculum v9.

interpret line graphs representing change over time; discuss the relationships that are represented and conclusions that can be made

Elaborations

• 1 reading and interpreting different line graphs, discussing how the horizontal axis represents measures of time such as days of the week or times of the day, and the vertical axis represents numerical quantities or ordinal categorical variables such as percentages, money, measurements or ratings such as fire hazard ratings
• 2 interpreting real-life data represented as a line graph showing how measurements change over a period of time and make simple inferences
• 3 matching unlabelled line graphs to the context they represent based on the stories of the different contexts
• 4 interpreting the data represented in a line graph making inferences; for example, reading line graphs that show the varying temperatures or UV rates over a period of a day and discussing when would be the best time to hold an outdoor assembly
• 5 exploring how line graphs can be used to train AI systems to make predictions by providing historical data and showing trends
