Exploring Line Plots with Fractions

This video tutorial explains how to create line plots using fractions. It begins by introducing the concept of line plots with fractions, comparing them to line plots with whole numbers. An example using fractions of an inch is provided, where the data consists of jigsaw puzzle pieces. The tutorial details how to label the number line with fractions, plot data points, and count occurrences of each fraction. The lesson concludes with a summary of the process and a table of results.
