Line graphs and line plots

Practice 3 items →

Data is a number with a unit and a scale. Students build line plots with bins of one half, one quarter, and one eighth, read a single-line graph, and answer questions about trends and totals — multiplying by the bin value rather than counting marks.

Students can

build line plots with bins of $\frac12$ , $\frac14$ , $\frac18$ ; read a single-line graph; answer questions about trends and totals.

Ready when

from a line plot of pencil lengths in $\frac14$ inches, they can give the total length and the most common length.

Watch for

counting Xs instead of multiplying by the bin value when asked for a total length.
