5. Representing data
Think about all the different was you know that data can be represented graphically and make a quick sketch on post-its of each one you think of.
Make sure you use a separate post-it for each diagram
It doesn’t have to be neat or accurate but it does need to be recognisable.
Pick one person to stick their diagrams in a row on the wall and write a label describing the diagram underneath.

6. What have we created?

7. Data presentation and analysis
This is the list from AQA: frequency tables bar charts pie charts pictograms vertical line charts tables line graphs for time series data

11. A pet shop sells cats. They are available only in 2 types, ginger or white. The shop has 14 male ginger cats. There are 40 cats altogether, and a quarter of them are white. There are 6 female cats that are white.
Draw up a table showing the number of each type of cat.
What percentage of the cats are white male cats?
Suggest a possible reason why the shop has more cats of one type than another.

14. Which graph shall I draw?
(Mini whiteboards) Choosing and drawing an appropriate diagram is a fairly common exam question and often there is more than one right answer (so don’t worry about what your neighbour writes on their board!)

32. New content – time series graphs

33. Interpreting time-series graphs
The graph on the next slide shows the maximum temperature in Whitby in January and July each year for a 6 year period (2004 – 2009).
Study the graph and answer the questions.

34. What do you think the maximum monthly temperature would have been in March 2006 and October 2008?
Temperature (°C)
Data taken from
March 2006 prediction likely to be about halfway between Jan 2006 and Jul 2006 = 15.1 degrees (see slide 4)
Oct 2008 prediction likely to be about halfway between October 2008 and January 2009 = (see slide 5)

35. March 2006 – was your prediction correct?
Temperature (°C)
Data taken from
Prediction likely to be round 15.1 (halfway between Jan and Jul) – but the graph is not a straight line so this prediction is not accurate. Actual temperature 7.4 degrees. Difference can be seen by the dotted line, which is the line on the previous slide

36. October 2008– was your prediction correct?
Temperature (°C)
Data taken from
Prediction likely to be round (halfway between Jul 2008 and Jan 2009) – but the graph is not a straight line so this prediction is not accurate. However, this is more accurate than the previous slide as it is nearer to the straight line. Actual temperature is 13.2 degrees.

37. Interpreting time-series graphs
Time-series graphs can be used to make predictions of future values, although these may not always be accurate.
Use the graph on the next slide of the maximum temperature in Whitby to answer the questions.
AQA Education (AQA) is a registered charity (number ) and a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales (number ). Our registered address is AQA, Devas Street, Manchester M15 6EX.

38. What do you think the maximum monthly temperature would be in January 2010 and July 2010?
Data taken from
Jan 2011 value – the January values vary from 6 to 9.6 degrees so any estimate in this region is reasonable as there isn’t a particular upward or downward trend– the halfway point of 7.8 degrees might be an appropriate prediction (6.7 was the actual value)
Jul 2011 value – the July values vary from 18.8 to 23.4 degrees to any estimate in this region is reasonable as there isn’t a particular upward or downward trend – the halfway point of 21.1 might be an appropriate prediction (18.6 was the actual value)
This example shows that predictions can only really be reliable if there is a definite trend to the data.

39. 2 Just Maths time series questions

40. Time Series graph activity
In this activity you will generate questions about a graph and describe what the graph is showing. In small groups, spend a couple of minutes studying the graph you have been given. (6 different graphs follow) Devise three questions that could be answered using information from the graph. Swap your questions with another group and answer the questions you have been given, using only information on the graph. Check your answers with the other group.
