Intro to Data: Line Plots
What you will learn from this videoWhat you will learn
- We'll learn how to display data on a line plot.
- We will also learn that a line plot is a lot like a number line!
- And we'll explore how this knowledge can help us compare the lengths of animals, how many goals we scored in a game, and how many pets we have!
- Discussion Questions
Before Video
How can you tell which answer was given the most times by looking at a tally sheet? ANSWERIt has the most tally marks.
Both have equally-spaced intervals. Both can be used to add, subtract, and show measurements.
Data is information we collect.
Yes, you can draw both a picture graph and a bar graph from a set of data.
How many siblings do you have? How many pets do you have? How many sports do you play?
After Video
You collected the following data about the number of siblings of your classmates: 0, 1, 2, 1, 2, 4, 5. You want to plot the data on a line plot. What number should your number line begin on?ANSWERThe number 0.
Yes. I need to label every whole number between the endpoints. The gaps tell me about the data.
Most frequent measure, smallest measure, least number of things, largest measure, or greatest number of things.
A line plot is a number line that has dots or Xs above each number. The number line does not have dots or Xs.
I can count up the Xs or the dots.
