- 1. Line Plots Susan Phillips Meadow Lane Elementary Lees Summit, MO Adapted from Math Thematics, Book 1
- 2. In this lesson you will... Learn how to draw and interpret a line plot.
- 3. Materials you will need... Pencil Paper
- 4. Discuss each slide. Do not go on until you are sure everyone on the team understands the concept presented on the slide. Take your time. Have fun! Work as a Team...
- 5. Lets Begin!
- 6. In this lesson, we will work with animal data. The first type of animals we will use are invertebrates. Invertebrates are animals without backbones. They are often very small. However, we will be investigating very LARGE invertebrates.

This table Five Giant Invertebrates Animal Length (cm) Bird-Eating Spider 25 African Giant Snail 39 Tropical Stick Insect 33 Atlas Moth 28 Andaman Island Centipede 33 and line plot 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 X X X X X Five Giant Invertebrates Length (cm) show the lengths of five giant invertebrates.
- 8. Suppose you pick up a bird-eating spider. Will it fit on the tip of your finger, in the palm of your hand, or in both hands? Five Giant Invertebrates Animal Length (cm) Bird-Eating Spider 25 African Giant Snail 39 Tropical Stick Insect 33 Atlas Moth 28 Andaman Island Centipede 33 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 X X X X X Five Giant Invertebrates Length (cm)
- 9. Five Giant Invertebrates Animal Length (cm) Bird-Eating Spider 25 African Giant Snail 39 Tropical Stick Insect 33 Atlas Moth 28 Andaman Island Centipede 33 How do you think the data in the table was used to draw the line plot? 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 X X X X X Five Giant Invertebrates Length (cm) What information is lost when you transfer data from a table to a line plot?
- 10. Five Giant Invertebrates Animal Length (cm) Bird-Eating Spider 25 African Giant Snail 39 Tropical Stick Insect 33 Atlas Moth 28 Andaman Island Centipede 33 What is the longest length of the giant invertebrates shown? 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 X X X X X Five Giant Invertebrates Length (cm) The shortest length? What is the range of the data?
- 11. Five Giant Invertebrates Animal Length (cm) Bird-Eating Spider 25 African Giant Snail 39 Tropical Stick Insect 33 Atlas Moth 28 Andaman Island Centipede 33 Which is easier to use, the table or the line plot, to find the longest and the shortest lengths? 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 X X X X X Five Giant Invertebrates Length (cm) Why?
- 12. Five Giant Invertebrates Animal Length (cm) Bird-Eating Spider 25 African Giant Snail 39 Tropical Stick Insect 33 Atlas Moth 28 Andaman Island Centipede 33 What numbers start and end the line plot? 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 X X X X X Five Giant Invertebrates Length (cm) Why do you think these numbers were chosen?
- 13. Line Plots A line plot displays data using a line marked with a scale. The scale must include the greatest and least value of the data. If you make a line plot before having all your data, you may want to include some extra numbers to the left and right in case the data includes some surprisingly small or large data.
- 14. Now you try it! Use the table on the next slide to construct a line plot.

- 16. Use the table and your line plot to help you estimate how many hours a day each of the following animals sleep. (Hint: Look at the clusters of animals in your line plot. Think about what each animal eats and where it sleeps.)
- 17. How many hours a day do you think a zebra sleeps? Animal Hours Spent Sleeping Each day Animal Hours Spent Sleeping Each day Elephant 4 Mouse 13 Giraffe 4 Okapi 5 Hyena 18 Rabbit 10 Jaguar 11 Raccoon 10 Lion 20 Squirrel 14
