Concept of drawing simple line graph on XY plane

Learning Outcomes

1.       Students will be able to identify and understand a line plot.

2.       Students will be able to produce a line plot from a given data set.

3.       Students will be able to read and interpret data presented on a line graph.

Description Of Activity

Plotting the points on the  XY – plane and joining them to get a line graph.

This activity we can do it on the ground.

Let us draw two mutually perpendicular number lines on the ground as shown in the figure. ( use measuring tape , rope and  powder )

 

 

 

 

1.       Group the pupils into four.

2.       Each group should have 5 pupils .

3.       Explain how to plot points on the  XY -  plane.

4.       Let the pupils identify the figure by plotting the mark  that the teacher will announce .

5.       As soon as the last point is plotted on XY – plane , one of the group member will then connect all the  marks  on the graph.

6.       The team who can identify first the figure formed correctly is the winner.

7.       Teacher has announce ordered pair points for every participants of each group.

For example : points ordered pairs  

1.  A (5 , 3)     2 .  B(  8, 5 )     3.  C  (   4, 5 )                                    

   4. D (  6 , 2 )     5 .  E(5 , 5 )       6 .F (   7,  4 )

Variations

 

1)      Variations may be made by  Choosing different quadrants .

2)      The same activity can be do it for two teams to draw double line graph.

Coaching Tips

1.       Marking the points properly with the guidance of teacher .

2.       Use of line graph in different fields like sports, markets ,industry growth ,etc

Equipment/Material Required

Rope , Ground  measuring tape, different coloured stones ( items) or white cement  powder.
