Creating a Line Plot to Show Measurement Data with Fractions

This lesson teaches how to represent data in fractional amounts using a line plot. It begins with an introduction to fractions and line plots, followed by a detailed guide on creating a number line that includes whole numbers and fractions. The lesson then explains how to plot data points on the line plot using student height data as an example. Finally, it discusses analyzing the plotted data, highlighting differences in height between boys and girls. The lesson emphasizes understanding fractional data representation and interpretation through line plots.
