Nuffield Free-Standing Mathematics Activity Matching graphs and scenarios
Measurements from real-life situations give different shapes of graph. Measuring pulse rate Using the cards, match each scenario with its graph.
100 0 160 Conversion graph (miles against kilometres) miles kilometres
100 2 Graph showing 100 mile journey Distance travelled (miles) 0 Time (hours)
100 0 5 Graph showing amount of oil in tank Amount (litres) (days) Time
100 20 0 60 Graph showing temperature of water Temperature (C) (minutes) Time
0 – 20 Graph showing temperature of bread Temperature (C) 30 Time (minutes)
212 32 0 100 Conversion graph (F against C) Temperature (F) (C) Temperature
50 0 Graph showing vehicle travelling at a steady speed before an emergency stop Speed (mph) (seconds) Time
50 0 5 Graph showing depth of water in bath Depth (cm) Time (minutes)
50 0 10 Graph showing vehicle setting off from junction Speed (mph) (seconds) Time

At the end of the activity When interpreting a graph, which key features are useful? Describe a real situation that would give a linear graph. Describe a real situation that would give a curved graph. Describe a real situation that would give a graph with more than one section (straight or curved).
