Interpreting algebraic expressions

This resource develops the concept of interpreting algebraic expressions, translating between words, symbols, tables and area representations.

Students work on tasks that require them to recognise the order of algebraic operations, recognise equivalent expressions, and understand distributive laws of...

Interpreting Algebraic Expressions A1

In this resource from the DfES Standards Unit, students learn to translate between words, symbols, tables, and area representations of algebraic expressions, recognise the order of operations, recognise equivalent expressions and understand the distributive laws of multiplication and division over addition (...

Interpreting and using data: setting taxi fares

This resource develops the concept of using a distance time scatter plot, finding a function that links the variables, and then using the results to decide upon a rate. 

The resource is set in the practical context of distances and times a taxi cab takes for 40 journeys. The resulting scatter plot is used to...

Interpreting Bar Charts, Pie Charts, Box and Whisker Plots S5

In this resource from the DfE Standards Unit, students will learn to understand and interpret bar charts, pie charts, and box and whisker plots. This session is in two linked parts. The first is matching pie charts to bar charts and secondly matching box and whisker plots to bar charts. Each part of the session...

Interpreting categorical and quantitative data

This task involves interpreting categorical and quantitative data.

There are five short tasks to complete on the following topics:

• Box plots
• Frequency graphs
• Median
• Probability

This task is from the Mathematics Assessment Resource Service, a collaboration...

Interpreting Data

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these resources are aimed at mathematics practitioners. .

Sessions in this resource look at:
• Interpreting bar charts (using higher order questions)
• Interpretation of pie charts (exposing and discussing common misconceptions)...

Interpreting data: muddying the waters

This is a problem solving lesson, designed to assess how well students are able to:

• Interpret data and evaluate statistical summaries
• Critique someone else’s interpretations of data and evaluations of statistical summaries

In addition, the lesson highlights some of the common...

Interpreting Distance – Time Graphs A6 *suitable for home teaching*

In this DfE Standards Unit resource students learn to interpret and construct distance–time graphs; relating speeds to gradients of the graphs and accelerations to changes in these speeds. Students have often constructed distance–time graphs before. However, experience shows that many still interpret them as if...

Interpreting distance-time graphs

This resource develops the concept of interpreting distance-time graphs.

Students work on a matching exercise that requires cards to be collected in sets of three; a distance-time graph, a statement, and a table of values. One of the ways this is done is by having cards that are ‘distractors’. For example,...
