  1. First, let's find the length of each pencil.

    All of the pencils begin at 0cm on the ruler. So, we can look at where our pencils end on the ruler to find their length.

    let's find the length of each pencil.
    Pencil A measure 5cm long.
    Pencil B measure 5cm long.
    Pencil C measure 3cm long.
    Pencil D measure 2cm long.

    Now, let's graph the measures on the line plot.

  2. Let's count how many animals step measured 21cm.

    One animal, the chipmunk, had a step that measured 21 cm

    So, we place 1 dot over 21 on the number line.
    we place 1 dot over 21 on the number line.

    Now, let's graph the other measurements on the table.

  6. Let's count how many Zebra's had 46 stripes.

    Two zebras had 46 stripes.

    So, we place 2 dots over 46 on the number line.
