The definitions of line plot and data are given. I then take them step by step though creating a line plot where I plot the number of hours students read over the weekend. The number line is split into fourth in order to plot the data. We use pretend data that I collected from 20 students. I show them how to create the line plot and then we discuss that you can use a line plot to answer questions. After watching how to create a line plot, students are asked to help Sam create a line plot showing his data. Sam is plotting how much his plants grew over one month. Students will use a line plot split into eighths. They will then answer 4 questions about the line plot they create.
