Line Plot and Data Analysis

The video tutorial teaches fourth-grade students how to create and interpret line plots using fractional data. It includes examples with button lengths and distances to school, demonstrating the steps to order data, create tally tables, and plot data points. Students are encouraged to practice by creating their own line plots using provided data.

What is the main focus of lesson 12.5?

• Learning about histograms

• Understanding pie charts

• Creating and interpreting line plots with fractional data

• Creating and interpreting bar graphs

What is a line plot used for?

• To compare data using bars

• To show data trends over time

• To show the frequency of data along a number line

• To display data in a circular format

What is the first step in creating a line plot?

• Order the data from least to greatest

• Plot the data points

• Label the number line

• Write a title for the plot

What should you do after ordering data from least to greatest when creating a line plot?

• Draw the number line

• Plot the data points

• Complete the tally table

• Write the title

What is the purpose of a tally table in creating a line plot?

• To write the title of the plot

• To record the frequency of data points

• To label the number line

• To draw the plot

What is the final step in creating a line plot?

• Write a title for the plot

• Plot an X for each data point

• Complete the tally table

• Order the data

What should be included in the title of a line plot?
