Today's Objective: create a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions.
How to create a line plot:
Choose a scale that is appropriate for your data. (Fractions)
Draw a horizontal line.
Divide the line into equal parts based on your scale.
Place an x over the number for each measurement.
Let's practice:
Step 1: Choose a scale. _____________________
Step 2: Draw a number line.
Step 3: Divide the number line into equal parts based on your scale.
Step 4: Draw an X above the number of each measurement. How many 1/4, how many 3/4, how many 1/2?
