Line plot examples grade 4

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 📊 A line plot is a graph that shows how often each number appears in a set of data.
• ✏️ To create a line plot, draw a number line and place an 'X' above each number for every time it appears in the data.
• 📏 Make sure your number line covers all the numbers in your data set, from the smallest to the largest.
• 🔢 Line plots help us easily see the mode (the most frequent number) and the range (the difference between the largest and smallest numbers).
• ➕ You can use line plots to answer questions about the data, like "How many students are taller than 4 feet?"
