Interpreting visual information

This section is about interpreting graphs.

In this section we’ll look at how spatial understanding applies to interpreting information presented in 2-dimensional graphs, including looking at gradients.  This component is based on the teaching resource “Shell Centre – The Language of Functions and Graphs”, which, although dating back to the 80s, is fantastic for building intuition about graphs.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the section you should be able to:

• Interpret visual information accurately
• Sketch graphs
