Data for Kids – The Line Chart

Let’s learn about the line chart

A line chart or a line graph shows data, (our facts and numbers), with a line. 

Line charts are most often used to show trends. Trend data shows us how certain numbers have changed over time. For example during a day, within a week, a month, a year. 

We can make a line chart with one line. This means we are only showing one object or category and how the information about this object or category has changed over time. Or we can make a line chart with more than one line. This means our chart will show not only the change over time but how our objects or categories compare to each other.

We have a few exercises that will help you build a line chart

I find data out-of-sights, one beautiful bar chart at a time! I also like to tell stories with data that inform and inspire!
