Reading and Interpreting Data Presented on a Line Graph I.

Learning Objectives Cognitive: Psychomotor: Affective: Read and interpret data presented on a line graph Write data presented on a line graph Choose the right kind of food

II. Learning Content Skill: Reference: Materials: Value: Reading and interpreting data presented on a line graph BEC PELC V A. 1 graph, pocket charts, grid board Proper nutrition

III. Learning Experiences A. Preparatory Activities 1. Drill: Plotting of Points on the Grid Strategy 1 Game: What Am I? Mechanics: a. b. Form 2 groups. Each will be given a grid board and piece of chalk. From the given reference point, pupils will plot the points that the teacher will announce. Example: From the reference point, locate point 2 at the right of the horizontal line Note: Use the last point as the point of reference for the succeeding points As soon as the last point is plotted on the grid, the last pupil will then connect all the points on grid. The team who can identify first the figure formed is winner. Strategy 2 Name a Point Mechanics: a. b. From 2 groups. Each will be given a Show-Me-Board. Plot a point on the grid board and asks how many unit it is from the vertical axis and from the horizontal axis. Note: Emphasize that a point is determines\s by ordered pairs (x, y). The first number is the number in the x-axis which matches the point and 2nd is the number in the y-axis which corresponds to the same point.

Each group flashes their answers on the grid. The group with the most number of points wins the game.

Review Here is a graph which you have learned before. Use the graph to answer the questions about it. Temperature Readings Taken in a Day Answer the question. a. What was the lowest temperature of the day? The highest temperature? b. At what time of the day the temperature was coolest? warmest? c. How many degrees is the difference between the highest and lowest temperature? d. What do you call this kind of graph?

Time of the Day 3. Motivation How many times do you visit your doctor? What are usually routine activity given or conduced to you during your visit or check up? Why do you think your doctor check your height and weight? (especially children) Why is it that the changes of height and weight should be monitored by your doctor? B. Developmental Activities 1. Presentation a. Present a grid with numbers 1 to 10 on the x-axis and numbers 20 to 160 on the y-axis as shown:

b. Call on pupils to plot these points on the grid: (x,y) 1) (0,40) 2) (5, 110) 3) (1, 60) 4) (6, 120) 5) (2, 80) 6) (7, 130) 7) (3, 90) 8) (9, 150) c. Call on a pupil to connect all the plotted points on the grid. d. Label the data presented on the x and y axes and put a title. e. Ask, What do you think will be formed? (The output must be the graph below.) f. Explain why such is called a line graph. Guide the pupils to see these features: titles, the x and y-axes and what data are presented in each of the axes. MARICELS HEIGHT

g. Let them read and interpret the line graph by answering the following questions about the graph. 1) What is the title of the graph? 2) What was Maricels height when she was 2 years old? 3) What were her fast growing years? 4) How many centimetrex was the increase in height from age 4 to 7 years? h. Answer more questions about the graph. 1) How tall was Maricel when she was 6 years old? 2) How old was Maricel when she was 110 cm tall? 3) What was the difference between Maricels height when she was 3 years old 7 years old? 4) What was the difference between Maricels height from the time she was born until the time she was 9 years old? 5) What do you think made Maricel taller than other children of her age? What kind of food does she eat? 2. Fixing Skills The line graph below shows the height of a potted plant measured at noon every day for 10 day. Study the graph and answer the questions which follow.

Days a. What would be an appropriate title for the graph? b. What is the height of the plant measured in Day 1? Day 5? c. On which day was the height of the pants 5 cm? 11cm? d. What is the increase in height of the plant grow most? What was its increase in height between these two days? 3. Generalization Why are line graphs useful? Line graphs help one see easily and clearly the changes in the data presented. What are the parts of a line graph? A line graph has a title, one kind of information on the x-axis and another king of information on the y-axis. How do you interpret data presented in a line graph? In a reading and interpreting the data presented a line graph, we usually compare the data in terms of size and amount or quality presented. C. Application The graph shows Carlos weight in kilograms for six months. Study the graph and answer the following questions. Carlos Weight for 6 Months

1. During what month did Carlo gain weight the most/the least? 2. What was the range of the recorded gains in weight between June and July? 3. In what month did Carlo lose weight? 4. Why do you think he lost weight? 5. How many kilograms did Carlo weigh in September? 6. What should Carlo do to maintain his normal weight level? 7. Why is it important to have normal body weight? IV. Evaluation A. Study this graph carefully, then answer the question that follow. Average Daily Sales at Mang Bens Sari-sari Store

Days 1. What is the title of the graph? 2. On what day was the sale highest? 3. On what days were the sales the same? 4. How much was the total sales? 5. Looking at the data, what can you say about the average daily sales of Mang Bens Sari-sari Store? 6. If you were Mang ben, what will you do to increase the sales every day? 7. In your opinion, do you think opening businesson Sunday is acceptable or not? Why? B. Use the graph to answer the following.
