Student Population Graph
Worksheet Description
The number of students in a school building are broken down by grade level in this data table. Take this data and create a line graph.
This worksheet provides a table with data on the number of students in each grade from Grade 1 to Grade 5 in a school. The task for students is to use this data to draw a line graph on the provided axes, which will visually represent the number of students in each grade. The horizontal axis of the graph is labeled with the grades, and the vertical axis is meant to represent the number of students, as indicated by the numbers provided in the table. The goal is to create a line graph that clearly shows the fluctuations in the number of students across different grades.
The worksheet is designed to teach students how to convert tabular data into a line graph, which is a key skill in data interpretation and representation. It aims to help students understand how to plot points based on numerical data and how to connect these points to form a line that reflects trends or patterns. By drawing the graph, students practice reading data, scaling axes, plotting points accurately, and visualizing data trends. This activity enhances their ability to communicate data effectively and is foundational for further studies in data analysis and mathematics.
