About this resource
Description
Line graphs show how data changes over time, and this plotting line graphs worksheet gives 4th grade students real practice turning a word problem into a graph. Students read a short story, pull the numbers out of it, and organize them before they ever draw a point.
About This Worksheet
In this plotting line graphs worksheet, students read about Piper’s lemonade stand and the number of cups she sold each hour. First they complete a data table, including one value they must figure out from a clue in the story. Next they plot each hour’s sales on a line graph with a scale that counts by fours and connect the points in order. Finally, they answer questions that ask them to find a total, compare the busiest and slowest hours, and explain a trend in the data.
What’s Included
- One printable line graph worksheet with a data story, a table, a graph grid, and three questions
- A complete answer key with the finished table, the plotted line graph, and sample answers
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
Students learn to organize information from text into a table, which is a key step in solving multi-step word problems. Plotting points on a scaled axis builds number sense and careful reading of intervals. Reading the finished graph to find totals, differences, and trends helps students see that a 4th grade line graph worksheet is really about telling the story behind the numbers.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use this worksheet as a math center, a homework page, or a quick assessment after a lesson on graphing. Invite students to collect their own data, such as the temperature each hour or the number of pages they read each day, and make a new line graph. Ask partners to write one more question about Piper’s graph and trade with a classmate.
