The Line Graph Tool is based on the recently upgraded Charts Tool and allows teachers to create a line graph from two sets of continuous data. As well as being able to create graphs, the tool also has the usual “random” functionality, which allows teachers to instantly generate meaningful data, from which they can then ask pupils related questions. 

The Line Graph Tool is available in England Year 6 and Year 7. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland…watch this space!
