Unit 6, Lesson 5
Represent Measurement Data on Line Plots
Grade 3
Activity 2
Create a line plot to represent the measurement data you collected. You will display and share your line plot with your class later.
You can use the blank number line here for your draft. Think about:
- how to label the tick marks so that all the measurements are included
- details to help others understand the data you collected
Student Section Summary
We learned how to measure lengths using rulers marked with halves and fourths of an inch.
We also learned to make line plots to show measurements in half inches or quarter inches.
Line plot from 0 to 8 by ones. Horizontal axis, length of twigs in inches. Hash marks at fourths. Beginning at 4 and three fourths, the number of X’s above each one fourth increment is 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 3, 5, 2, 1, 3, 0, 1.
