Students use line plots to represent data gathered from surveys. They use line plots to find the mode and median of a data set and to answer questions about the data.

Content in this Lesson

  • Making a line plot using numerical data [E4].
  • Reading a table or line plot to find information about a data set [E7].
  • Making predictions and generalizations about a data set using a table or line plot [E10].
