Year 5 line charts

With a nice hot summer for us, what better way to spend a mathematics lesson then watch line graphs of temperatures?

In year 5 children should build and interpret line graphs. The important aspect of a line chart is that each point on the line will have a value. The chart in this worksheet indicates the minimum and maximum temperatures every month for London. It would be very worthwhile to find other temperature charts for cities around the world and compare them.

Another great idea is to find data for countries in the southern hemisphere and compare the shape of the line graph to London.

Why not go to our page Handling data and probability for year 5?
