About this resource
Description
A line graph shows how data changes over time, and this plotting line graph worksheet helps 5th grade students turn a real-world story into a clear, accurate graph. Students pull numbers from a short passage, organize them in a table, and then use the graph to reason about the data.
About This Worksheet
In this plotting line graph worksheet, students read about a fifth-grade class that counted the bikes in the school bike rack every day for one week. They fill in a data table, working out two of the daily counts from clues such as “5 more bikes than on Monday.” Next they plot each day on a line graph with a scale that counts by fives and connect the points in order. Finally, they answer multi-step questions that ask them to find the mean, identify the greatest increase between two days, and calculate a new mean after the data changes.
What’s Included
- A one-page plotting line graphs worksheet with a data story, a fill-in table, a coded line graph, and three questions
- A complete answer key with the filled table, the plotted line, and every answer
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, it connects reading and math, because students have to find and infer data from words before they can graph it. Second, plotting points on a scaled axis builds precision with intervals of five, a skill students use on every graph they read. Third, finding the mean and asking how it changes moves students from simply reading a graph to thinking about what the data means.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use this 5th grade line graph worksheet as a warm-up before a data unit, a math center, or homework. After students finish, have them collect their own data for a week, such as how many students buy lunch, and build a matching line graph. You can also ask them to predict what the graph might look like during a week of snow.
