About line plots

A line plot shows every piece of data as an X above a number line. Students either read a finished plot and answer questions (how many at one value, how many more than a value, how many in all, the longest or tallest) or draw the Xs themselves from a list of numbers.

Choose whole numbers (pets, books, goals) or measurements to the nearest half inch or quarter inch, which are the lengths the third and fourth grade standards ask for. The answer key shows the finished plot or the correct answers.

Printing
