Line Graph Problem Solving

About this worksheet

A quick exit ticket on reading line graphs for Year 6 maths. Pupils interpolate a car journey graph to find the distance travelled by 2:30 pm, then use a conversion graph where 5 miles matches 8 kilometres to convert 15 miles. Three identical slips fill one page, ready to cut and hand out. Matched to the England National Curriculum statistics objective.
