Read time-series values and describe changes without inventing observations.
Grade 5 review and application of earlier data skills. Use the stated units and scales. These activities do not claim to cover an entire Grade 5 standard.
Supported practice
Example: The point above 9 am is at 12 °C. The horizontal axis gives time; the vertical axis gives temperature.
1. What was the temperature at 10 am?
2. When was the recorded temperature highest?
3. What unit is used for temperature?
4. Did the temperature rise or fall from 11 am to noon?
Supported answers
1. 15 °C.
2. 11 am, at 19 °C.
3. Degrees Celsius (°C).
4. It fell from 19 °C to 18 °C.
Standard practice
Example: From 9 am to 10 am, temperature increased by 15 − 12 = 3 °C.
1. Find the change from 10 am to 11 am.
2. Find the overall change from 9 am to noon.
3. Which consecutive hour had the largest increase?
4. What is the difference between the highest and lowest recorded temperatures?
Standard answers
1. An increase of 4 °C: 19 − 15.
2. An increase of 6 °C: 18 − 12.
3. 10–11 am, with an increase of 4 °C.
4. 7 °C: 19 − 12.
Challenge practice
Example: Lines connect recorded points. A straight segment does not prove the temperature changed at a perfectly steady rate.
1. Can you know the exact measured temperature at 10:30 am from these hourly readings?
2. Estimate 10:30 am by assuming a steady change between 10 and 11.
3. Does the fall before noon prove it will keep getting colder afterward?
4. The vertical axis begins at 10 °C. Does a bar-like height measured from that baseline equal the temperature?
Challenge answers
1. No measurement is given for 10:30. The connecting line suggests an estimate, not an observed value.
2. 17 °C, halfway between 15 and 19. This depends on the steady-change assumption.
3. No. The graph has no later observations.
4. No. Read the labeled scale; the starting value is 10, not zero.
