Worksheet for creating a line graph based on student absentee data by grade.

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given data about the number of absent students in each grade from Grade 1 to Grade 5:

- Grade 1: 15 students
- Grade 2: 6 students
- Grade 3: 18 students
- Grade 4: 6 students
- Grade 5: 9 students

We need to draw a line graph. That means we’ll plot points for each grade and connect them with lines.

First, let’s decide on the axes:

→ The x-axis (horizontal) will show the Grade (Grade 1 to Grade 5).
→ The y-axis (vertical) will show the Number of Students who were absent.

Now, what scale should we use for the y-axis?

The highest number is 18 (Grade 3), and the lowest is 6. So we need our y-axis to go at least up to 18.

Let’s choose a scale where each grid line represents 2 students. That way:

- 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 — that fits nicely on the graph paper shown (there are 9 horizontal lines above the x-axis, so if we start at 0, we can label up to 18).

So, for the y-axis:
- Label it “Number of Absent Students”
- Mark every line as +2: 0, 2, 4, ..., 18

For the x-axis:
- Label it “Grade”
- Put labels under each vertical line: Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5

Now, plot the points:

- Grade 1 → 15 → Find 15 on y-axis (between 14 and 16), go up to that height over Grade 1 → put a dot
- Grade 2 → 6 → Go up to 6 over Grade 2 → dot
- Grade 3 → 18 → Top of the graph over Grade 3 → dot
- Grade 4 → 6 → Same height as Grade 2 → dot
- Grade 5 → 9 → Between 8 and 10 → dot

Then, connect the dots with straight lines — that makes the line graph!

Also, write a title for the graph. Since the worksheet already says “Line Graph - Absentees in a Class”, you can use that or make your own like “Absent Students by Grade”.

Finally, don’t forget to label both axes clearly.

✔ All steps done! Now here’s the final answer:

Final Answer:
Draw a line graph with:
- X-axis labeled “Grade” with categories: Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5
- Y-axis labeled “Number of Absent Students” with scale: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18
- Plot points: (Grade 1, 15), (Grade 2, 6), (Grade 3, 18), (Grade 4, 6), (Grade 5, 9)
- Connect the points with straight lines
- Title the graph: “Absentees in a Class by Grade”
