Line Graph Teacher Resources

Was there a baby boom? Using census data, class members take a look at the number of 8-11 year olds and determine their birth years. Scholars create a double line graph to compare the number of births for two states for several years....

Young mathematicians review what they have previously learned about coordinates and straight line graphs. Then, they access an interactive component within the lesson to gain more practice with this skill. Additionally, there are two...

Explore line graphs and their characteristics through an interactive lesson. Scholars follow a set of directions to plot data on a line graph. They then answer questions about the type of variables, minimum and maximum values, and...

Practice graphing and interpreting data on line graphs with 36 pages of math activities. With rationale, worksheets, and assessment suggestions, the resource is a great addition to any graphing unit.

Roll the dice with this activity and teach young mathematicians about probability. Record outcomes for rolling two number cubes in order to determine what is most likely to happen. Graph the data and investigate patterns in the results,...

In this line graphs instructional activity, students draw lines for 9 problems then solve 9 additional problems relating to line graphs. Answers are included.

Fifth graders interpret line graphs. In this graphing lesson, 5th graders first begin by reviewing the difference in bar and line graphs and what they are used for. Students practice interpreting the data on various line graphs and using...

Students analyze data and create a line graph. In this graphing lesson, students explore data from a previous experiment and plot the information on a line graph. Students analyze their findings.

Students explore bar and line graphs. In this data collection, graphing, and weather lesson, students compare bar and line graphs and discuss which type of graph would be most appropriate for displaying a ten day weather forecast....

Students, while in the computer lab, assess how to use Microsoft Excel as a "graphing calculator." They view visual representations of line graphs in a Cartesian plane while incorporating basic skills for using Excel productively.

Young scholars participate in graphing data.  In this graphing data lesson, students make a stem and leaf plot of their summer activities.  Young scholars create numerous graphs on poster boards.  Students discuss the differences between...

Fourth graders prepare two spreadsheets each with an embedded line graph that displays data about the growth of the bitter rot fungus on apples and on petri dishes that were stored in the refrigerator and the classroom. They prepare a...

In this interpreting graphs activity, learners complete an on-line activity in which they read both a line graph and a bar graph. They answer questions about how many of each letter is shown on a line graph and how many of each child's...

Young scholars develop a line graph based on distances that an RCX car drives in specified amounts of time. They then are given a specific amount of time for the car to drive and be asked to extrapolate the car's distance from the graph.

What are the advantages to seeing multiple data sets on the same graph? Scholars explore this question as they manipulate the animation within the lesson. Questions within the interactive ask individuals to make comparisons across the...

Pre-algebra protégés critique a graph depicting Tom's trip to the bus stop. They work together to match descriptive cards to distance-time graph cards and data table cards, all of which are provided for you so you can make copies for...

Young learners create and implement a school-wide survey about student body favorites! Learners record and analyze the data on a bar graph, picture graph, and line graph, and then display the data. Then, wrap it all up with a celebration...

Even rivers have tides. Older elementary schoolers will discuss the Hudson River and how weather, water craft, and the ocean cause tidal fluctuation. They will examine a series of line graphs that depict tidal fluctuation, then analyze...

Create a survey and graph! In this graphing lesson, students listen to a story about pets, create a survey for family and friends about what pets they own, and use the information to create a bar and line graph.

In this algebra worksheet, students graph coordinate pairs on a coordinate plane. They match points with letters and graph a line through all the plotting to create a straight line. There are 25 questions with an answer key.

Guide high school meteorologists through a detailed examination of oxygen concentration data. The learners analyze a line graph containing logarithmic data and employ the use of a graphing calculator. A comprehensive worksheet and links...
