Exploring Rational Expressions: Addition and Subtraction

The video tutorial guides fourth-grade students through the process of using line plots to solve problems. It begins with an introduction to line plots, followed by detailed steps on how to create a line plot from a given set of data. The tutorial then demonstrates how to analyze the line plot to answer specific questions, such as identifying the greatest and least amounts of time taken by students to say the alphabet. Finally, it shows how to use the line plot to solve problems by calculating differences and identifying common data points.
