Graphing Practice Worksheets

Students construct a line graph from a data table, correctly labeling the title, both axes, units, and a consistent scale.

Students distinguish independent variables (x-axis) from dependent variables (y-axis) in a given data set.

Students read an existing line graph to reconstruct its underlying data table and describe the trend it shows.

Introduce the info sheet's four graph requirements (title, labeled axes, units, consistent scale) before assigning any worksheet, as a checklist for discussing students’ work.

Use the included blank graph and data table template for a student-generated data set as an extension activity.

Have students verify the car-speed doubling pattern by calculating the next two data points themselves before checking the answer key.

Line graph construction — students plot data with a title, labeled and scaled axes, and units, using scenarios like weather temperature and car speed.

Independent vs. dependent variable identification — students identify which quantity belongs on the x-axis versus the y-axis in each scenario.

Graph-to-table translation — students read a completed plant-growth line graph to reconstruct its missing data table.
