Learning How to Use Graphs

Line Graphs
Math Make a line graph by mounting a piece of graph paper on a corkboard and using yarn and push pins to make the line. Chart one group of data with one color of yarn, then use another group of data and chart it with a different color of yarn on the same graph. Then have students gather their own information to graph. Give them graph paper, plot the line, then attach a piece of yarn over their plotted line with a bit of glue.

Creating a Graph
This lesson is designed to teach students that information can be organized in many different ways to make it easy for us to read and understand.

Graphs Use Art and Math Lesson Plan
This lesson will develop and promote an awareness of the uses of art materials and concepts in the creation of visual information charts and graphs. Math and simple data collection techniques will be used as well to produce the information needed for visual presentation.

Create a Graph – Classic
Here you will find four different graphs and charts that your students can use to design a graph. The can use homework problems, or things that are of a special interest to them, or you could provide the numbers for them to plot on a graph.
