Line Plots

This was our last week learning about graphs so we ended this math chapter by creating our own line plots. Students have learned that line plots show the frequency of data using x's displayed on a number line and they put this knowledge to use by surveying their classmates and creating their own line plots. 




















Students were given different graphing ideas for their line plots such as "number of siblings", "number of shoes", or "number of aunts". Walking around the classroom, students surveyed their classmates to collect the data needed to create their line plot. Once finished, students used a ruler and created their line plots on a large sheet of paper. These line plots are now being displayed in our classroom window in the hallway. Feel free to come on out and study our classroom line plots!















Spring is here! 
We have decorated our classroom window with "hand flowers" to put us in the mood for spring weather!
