Line Plots: what children learn
A line plot shows measurement data on a number line, with one X for each measurement. Kids count the Xs to answer questions about how many are a certain length.
Line Plots: worked example
A line plot has 3 Xs above the number 5. How many pencils are 5 inches long? 3
Each X stands for 1 pencil, so 3 Xs mean 3 pencils.
Line Plots: a common mistake to watch for
Kids sometimes read the number on the line instead of counting the Xs above it.
Line Plots: how to help at home or in class
Collect pencils or crayons and measure each to the nearest inch. Make a number line on masking tape or paper, and put a sticky note X above the number for each one. Ask how many are exactly 6 inches or which length has the most Xs. When your child counts the Xs above the number rather than reading the number itself, line plots are secure.
