Practice: Make Line Plots

Answers

  1. Let's count how many animals step measured 21cm.
    One animal, the chipmunk, had a step that measured 21cm.
    So, we place 1dot over 21 on the number line.

    Now, let's graph the other measurements on the table.
    Here is the completed line plot:


  2. 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.

    Pencil A measure 10cm long.
    Pencil B measure 9cm long.
    Pencil C measure 5cm long.
    Pencil D measure 4cm long.

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


  3. Let's count how hand's measured 15cm.
    Two students, Simone and Gabriel, have hands that measured 15 cm
    So, we place 2dots over 15 on the number line.

    Now, let's graph the other measurements on the table.
    Here is the completed line plot:


  4. 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.

    Pencil A measure 8cm long.
    Pencil B measure 7cm long.
    Pencil C measure 4cm long.
    Pencil D measure 4cm long.
    Now, let's graph the measures on the line plot.


  5. Let's count how many volcanoes had a height of 50cm.
    One volcano, blast em, measured 50cm
    So, we place 1 dot over 50 on the number line.

    Now, let's graph the other measurements on the table.
    Here is the completed line plot:


  6. First, let's find the length of each pencil.
    All of the pencils begin at 0 cm on the ruler. So, we can look at where our pencils end on the ruler to find their length.

    Pencil A measure 8cm long.
    Pencil B measure 6cm long.
    Pencil C measure 5cm long.
    Pencil D measure 2cm long.
    Now, let's graph the measures on the line plot.


  7. 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.

    Now, let's graph the other measurements on the table.
    Here is the completed line plot:
