Matching Stories to Graphs — Easy Worksheet 1
Grade 8 · Whoobee Name: ____________________ Date: __________
Time is on the x-axis of every graph. Write A, B or C.
How to solve
Split the story into parts and read the graph from left to right, one piece per part. When the quantity grows, the graph goes up; when it shrinks, it goes down; when it stays the same, the graph is flat. A steeper piece means the change happens faster.
Example
A bathtub fills slowly from the tap, and then stays at the same level with the tap off. The y-axis shows the amount of water in the tub. Which graph matches the story?
Graph A | Graph B | Graph C |
Answer: C
Graph A | Graph B | Graph C |
Not quite. The answer is
💡 Part by part, the story needs a graph that goes up, then down. Graph A: up, then down. Graph B: up, then flat. Graph C: up, then up. Only Graph A matches.
✓ Correct!
Not quite. The answer is
💡 Part by part, the story needs a graph that goes up, then down. Graph A: up, then down. Graph B: up, then flat. Graph C: up, then up. Only Graph A matches.
