Teach your students how to read, create, and interpret a line graph from a word problem or given data. Challenge your students to think more critically and become better mathematicians.

The “How to...” guide is included in this packet. Start your students on their way to becoming better problem graphic interpreters.

An answer guide for each activity is provided.

Some common core standards met by this activity will be:

CCSS.Math.Content.2.MD.D.10. Solve simple put-together, take-apart, and compare problems1 using information presented in a bar graph.

CCSS.Math.Content.2.G.A.3 Partition circles and rectangles into two, three, or four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves, thirds, half of, a third of, etc., and describe the whole as two halves, three thirds, four fourths. Recognize that equal shares of identical wholes need not have the same shape.

CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.B.3 . Solve one- and two-step “how many more” and “how many less” problems using information presented in scaled bar graphs. For example, given a bar graph in which each square in the bar graph might represent 5 pets.
