From 1992-2008, West Virginia has fallen below the national average in mathematics 13 out of 16 years (81%).
For this assignment I chose a line graph from Kids Zone. The scale of my line graph ranged from 200-250. The reason behind this is due to the average scores ranging from 215-239. If I plotted my graph with further points (i.e. 100-500), the comparisons between the national and state test scores would not have been as noticeable or attention-getting, when the scale is as close to the lowest and highest scores, the differences are greatly enhanced and more noticeable and persuasive.The only difference between the 4th grade and 8th grade line graph is the range, the 8th grade range went from 250-290, but the concept was identical to the 4th grade graphing procedure.
