Front

What is a line plot?

Back

A line plot is a graph that shows data along a number line, where each mark represents a value.

Front

How do you read a line plot?

Back

To read a line plot, look at the marks above each number to see how many times that number appears in the data.

How do you compare lengths?

Back

To compare lengths, measure each object and see which one has a greater or lesser value.

Front

What is a scaled graph?

Back

A scaled graph is a graph that uses a specific scale to represent data, allowing for easier comparison of values.

Front

What is the purpose of a line plot?

Back

The purpose of a line plot is to display data clearly and to show how often each value occurs.
