Plotting Data Tables
Students make a table and plot their data on a graph. In this algebra lesson, students graph piecewise functions using the given equations along with the restricted domain. They calculate the rate of change.

Make a Line Graph
In this make a line graph learning exercise, 6th graders make a line graph for 2 sets of data, using a blank grid, by plotting the numbers, labeling the x and y axes and writing a title.
University of Illinois
University of Illinois: Line Graphs
Line graphs are shown and explained here. You can learn what kind of data is best represented using a line graph. There are also line graphs with questions and answers available to help you learn how to read them.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Line of Best Fit
In this activity, students learn to collect data and plot the data. They use the manual-fit feature to form a line of best fit.
