Graphing Data Worksheets for the Coordinate Plane

These differentiated graphing data worksheets are a great way to enhance a coordinate plane or data unit. In these multi-skill worksheets, students will encounter data from real-world situations, helping to make math relevant to their lives. 

Skills in these graphing data worksheets include: 

• Extending and extrapolating data 
• Completing input-output tables
• Plotting points in a one-quadrant coordinate plane
• Plotting points in a four-quadrant coordinate plane
• Analyzing data

Four worksheets with answer keys are included. All worksheets require students to fill in a table of data that follows a pattern and answer questions about the data. Two worksheets ask students to plot points in the first quadrant and the other two in all four quadrants, so you can choose which version works best for your students.

Graphing From a Table

If your students have mastered plotting points on the coordinate plane, it’s definitely time to take them to the next level and have them begin graphing from a table of real-world data. Why? We’re glad you asked! 

• Relevance: Connecting math to real-world scenarios increases student engagement by showing the practical applications of what they’re learning.
• Data Literacy: In a data-driven world, students who learn to interpret and analyze real-world data are developing essential skills for life and many professional fields. 
• Critical Thinking Skills: Having students analyze real-world data in tables and graphs encourages them to think critically about the information, draw conclusions, and make informed decisions about what they see. 
• Interdisciplinary Learning: Tables, data, and graphs aren’t just for math class! You can easily use these graphing data worksheets to integrate concepts from science, social studies, and other subjects, promoting a holistic learning approach.
