About the Graphing Trends Worksheet

Graphing Trends provides a comprehensive introduction to coordinate graphing and pattern recognition through visual representation. This interactive and printable worksheet, that aligns with the Common Core State Standards, Graphing Trends helps students develop their understanding of plotting points on a coordinate plane and identifying numerical patterns. Through a series of six carefully designed graphs with accompanying coordinate tables, students are challenged to analyze existing point patterns and predict the next coordinates in the sequence.

Each graph presents a unique pattern of coordinates that students must carefully examine to determine the relationship between x and y values. The worksheet is structured progressively, starting with a completed example to guide students through the process. Students must use their analytical skills to identify patterns, plot points accurately on the coordinate grid, and extend the pattern by finding and plotting the next two coordinates. This hands-on approach helps students develop both their graphing skills and their ability to recognize and extend numerical patterns.
