🌟 Line Graphs 🌟 - Grade 6 Data Literacy

Hi my wonderful Grade 6 trend spotters! 👋

A Line Graph is perfect for showing how something changes over time. We plot points and connect them with a line so we can easily see trends — going up, going down, or staying the same!

2. How to Read a Line Graph

✅ Read the title first
✅ Check the labels on the bottom (usually time)
✅ Check the scale on the side
✅ Look at the direction of the line to see the trend
