Line Graphs 6th Grade Worksheets

Understanding and analysing data is something that is becoming more and more important in today's society.

There are many different ways to present data, and using a line graph is a common way to look at patterns and trends over time.

The sheets in this page involve reading and interpreting a range of line graphs and also plotting and creating line graphs which have a pre-made scale.

At 6th grade, the vertical scale in much more varied on these sheets, and the level of analysis is getting harder.

On this page there are a wide variety of line graphs on a variety of different topics.

Many of the graphs involve 'real-life' data.

Some of the line graphs start at zero on the vertical axis, but some of the graphs start at higher numbers.

There are lots of opportunities on each of the worksheets to interpret the graphs and answer questions about the data.

On some of the later sheets, there are opportunities for plotting and drawing part of the graph.

Using these 6th grade line graphs will help your child to:

• read and answer questions about line graphs;
• read and interpret line graphs with a scale going up in different size steps;
• find the range, median and mean of a set of data on a line graph;
• plotting and drawing missing parts of a line graph;
• answer questions involving data.

The line graphs worksheets have been split up into 2 different sections below.

The first section contains line graph worksheets that focus on interpreting.

The second section involves plotting and drawing parts of the line graph as well as interpreting.

The line graphs worksheets in this section are at a 3rd grade level and are simpler than those on this page.

The level of interpretation is a little easier and the line graphs may involve scales going up in 1s or 2s.

The line graphs on this page are great as a basic introduction to using line graphs.

Using these sheets will help you to:

• find the mean of up to 5 numbers;
• find a missing data point when the mean is given.
• find the median of a set of data.
