Match them to their descriptions:  \na  \nb  \nc  \nd  \nFluctuate Rocket  \nFall Level off  \ne  \nf  \ng  \nh  \nPlummet  \nPeak  \nRise  \nTrough  \nInflation  \nInflation is the term used to describe the rising of prices over a given time. Any positive inflation rate means that prices are rising. The graph below shows the UK’s inflation rates since 1960. In 1980, inflation was at 18% . In 1981, it fell to 12% . That does not mean prices were falling, it means that they were rising at a lower rate or more slowly than the year before.  \nActivity 2  \nUsing the above graph, answer the following questions:  \n1. In what year was inflation at its highest?  \n2. In what year was inflation at its lowest?  \n3. How would you describe the trend from 1972 to 1975?  \n4. How would you describe the trend from 1993 to 2003?  \n5. How would you describe the trend from 1977 to 1979?  \n6. What has happened to inflation since 2020?  \n7. Which decade had the highest average inflation rate?  \n8. Which decade had the lowest inflation rate?","cbCaihh2nYTbJ51b","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihh2nYTbJ51b","pdf",153858,"English","# Describing Trends\n## Activity 1: Graph Matching\n# Inflation\n## Concept Overview\n## Activity 2: Data Analysis Questions","[{\"question\":\"What does it mean if the inflation rate is positive?\",\"answer\":\"A positive inflation rate indicates that prices are rising over a given time period.\"},{\"question\":\"Does a fall in the inflation rate mean that prices are decreasing?\",\"answer\":\"No, a falling inflation rate signifies that prices are still rising, but at a slower rate than in the previous period.\"},{\"question\":\"What historical period is covered by the UK inflation rate graph provided?\",\"answer\":\"The graph illustrates UK inflation rates covering the years from 1960 through 2022.\"}]","Functional Skills Maths - Inflation and Describing Trends | PDF"]
