Drawing Scatter Graphs WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This worksheet helps students practise plotting scatter graphs through a range of real-world examples. Pupils are given data tables in different contexts, including weekly exercise compared to resting heart rate, the age of cars against their value, rental prices in relation to distance from a city centre, and the number of ice creams sold compared with the daily temperature. Learners plot the data accurately on pre-drawn axes. The variety of examples encourages pupils to think about how scatter graphs can be used to identify trends and draw conclusions from everyday situations. Working through these activities builds confidence with coordinates, strengthens graphing skills, and introduces the idea of correlation in a meaningful and engaging way.
