What It Is:
This is an educational worksheet titled 'Claire's Bake Sale' focused on practicing line graphs. It presents a scenario where Claire sells cupcakes and cookies monthly and wants to determine the more profitable item. The worksheet provides a table showing her sales data for May through September and includes instructions to create a line graph using this data, including titling the graph, figuring out a scale, and using different colors for the lines. A blank graph template is provided for students to fill in.
