1. Creating a Multiple Line Graph photocopies # 47 & 48

2. I can… Understand the characteristics of Canada’s population and how and why it is changing. Create, interpret and use multiple line graphs.

Use the vertical axis to measure the birth and death rates per 1000 and the horizontal axis to show the years between 1925 and 2010. Use an appropriate scale to accommodate all the data. Label the vertical and horizontal lines appropriately. Shade the area between the two lines (Natural Increase) in green and include this in your legend.

4. Standard Sheet of linear X linear graph paper 33 boxes 42 boxes

5. Draw a horizontal line 34 boxes wide - this will represent the x -axis Draw a vertical line 25 boxes high - this will represent the y-axis. Locate the origin at 5 squares up and 5 in

6. Place a tick mark every 2 nd horizontal square and label these as ‘25, ’30, ’35 etc… to ‘10 ‘25‘30‘35 Don’t forget to identify the units on this axis!

7. ‘25‘30‘35 Place a tick mark every 5 th vertical square and label these as 5.0, 10.0, 15.0 etc… to 30.0 15.0 10.0 5.0 Don’t forget to identify the units on this axis!

9. ‘25‘30‘35 15.0 10.0 5.0 Don’t forget to identify the units on this axis! Shade the area between the curves (Natural Increase) Add a title which reflects content of the graph Add a legend which explains the meaning of each of the colours used. Source Author
