Creating Line Plots
4HR is learning how to to use line plots to organize and display data. Are you curious about line plots? Here is a quick video to teach you more about making line plots.
What did we learn?
Line plots go from the smallest (or least) to the biggest (or most)
Use Xs to show how much or how often
It is similar to a graph (only x axis)
At the bottom, you need to label
At the top, there is a title
Today we will use line plots to interpret data on different athletes. On this site, we will make a line plot and determine the information it is telling us.
Our next step is to use these skills to help us interpret data in the real world! Watch out for our next steps.
