ACTIVITY SUMMARY

Pupils will use local cricket statistics from the Airedale and Wharfedale Senior Cricket League (AWS Cricket League) to plot line graphs and then to solve comparison, sum and difference problems using information presented in the line graph.

Curriculum links Maths • Solve comparison, sum and difference problems using information presented in a line graph • Pupils connect their work on coordinates and scales to their interpretation of time graphs. They begin to decide which representations of data are most appropriate and why

History • Support local history study over time tracing how aspects of national history are reflected locally

Learning objectives Maths • To accurately plot cricket player statistics to form a line graph • To solve comparison, sum and difference problems using information presented in a line graph

History • To use sporting heritage to learn about the AWS Cricket League and the information they record about each player Learning outcomes

• To be able to plot a line graph from using local cricket statistics from the AWS Cricket League • To be able to solve comparison, sum and difference problems using a line graph

History • To know how the AWS Cricket League record information about each player Resources

• Super Scores - Run Makers activity sheets • Super Scores - Wicket Takers activity sheets • Super Cricket Statistics answer sheets • Graph paper

Line graph checklist When you have plotted your line graph use the checklist below to make sure you have included all the right information. Tick each box when you have checked each point.

Appropriate title Drawn with pencil and a ruler Independent variable on x-axis (horizontal axis) Dependent variable on y-axis (vertical scale) The scales on both axis are simple, even multiples of 1, 2, 4, 5 or 10 etc The axes are labelled, with their units, e.g. length/cm, time/sec, speed/m/s The points are marked with small crosses or dots A straight line of best fit has been drawn using a ruler or a curved line of best fit has been drawn free-hand (no dot to dots!)

Looking at your line graph how would you make it better next time?

Using the Super Scores - Wicket Takers line graph can you solve the problems below?

1. What was the highest number of wicket’s that Callum Oliver took in one match in 2012? 2. What was the lowest number of wickets taken by James Davies between 2010 – 2019? 3. What is the difference between the wickets taken between the two players in 2017? 4. When was the smallest difference between the wickets taken by Callum Oliver and the wickets taken by James Davies? 5. When was the biggest difference between the wickets taken by Callum Oliver and the wickets taken by James Davies? 6. What is the sum of the wickets taken by Callum and James in 2013? 7. True or False? - James Davies took more wickets than Callum Oliver in 2018. 8. True or False? – The difference between the wickets taken by Callum and James in 2016 is 29 . 9. True or False? – The difference between the highest and lowest number of wickets taken by Callum Oliver is 43. 10. What do you think may have contributed to Callum increase in wickets taken over the years?

What is a wicket? The wicket is made up of the 3 stumps with two bails balanced on top. When a wicket is ‘taken’ it means that a member of the fielding team knocked the bails off the stumps and the batsman is then out.
