Math Worksheets and Lesson Plans -Temperature Line Graph

Temperature Line Graph

My class and I “connected” to our pen pals by checking their weather and comparing it to ours, each morning.  Using a link (weather.com) from our class web site we enter our zip code and use poster-sized graph paper to record our temperature in blue.  Then we enter our pen pals’ zip code and record their temperature in red.  It’s great practice in predicting and provides an endless source of math questions.  Once a month, we transfer the data to Microsoft Excel and reproduce the line graph we’ve created.
