Australian Curriculum Version 9 Says:

Interpret line graphs representing change over time; discuss the relationships that are represented and conclusions that can be made.

What this means

  • Draw conclusions from data depicted in line graphs.
  • This is the first mention of line graphs.
  • Typically line graphs are used to display continuous (measured data). The ones mentioned here relate to changes over time. The horizontal axis could show years, months days, hours, etc. The vertical axis would involve numbers, e.g., dollars, measurements, etc.
