Students complete nine fill-in-the-blank questions building a line plot from a ten-value bug-length data set, counting X marks per fraction, and reading completed plots. The matching activity pairs four data questions with their answers — mode, X-mark counts, totals, and values below a threshold.
Building a line plot from raw fractional data and then reading it trains the complete line plot skill — creating the display and using it to answer questions — in a single structured activity.

Line Plots with Fractions
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A scientist measures lengths of 10 bugs in inches: 14, 12, 14, 34, 12, 14, 12, 34, 12, 14. How many X marks are at 14 on the line plot?
Answer: 4
2. Using the same bug data above, how many X marks are at 12 on the line plot?
Answer: 4
3. Using the same bug data above, how many X marks are at 34 on the line plot?
Answer: 2
4. Using the same bug data, the mode(s) of the data set is/are 14 and 12.
5. A line plot shows rainfall for 12 days: 0→2 Xs, 18→3 Xs, 14→4 Xs, 38→2 Xs, 12→1 X. The most common rainfall amount is 14 inch.
6. Using the rainfall data above, the number of days with more than 18 inch of rain is 7.
7. Students long-jumped (meters): 34, 12, 1, 34, 12, 14, 34, 12, 1, 34. The value with the most X marks is 34 meter.
8. Using the long-jump data, the number of students who jumped 12 meter or less is 4.
9. Using the long-jump data, the difference between the count at 34 meter and the count at 14 meter is 3.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
Data: 14, 12, 14, 34, 12, 14. How many X marks at 14?
→ 3
38
Data: 18, 38, 38, 58, 38, 38, 18, 58. What is the mode?
→ 38
5
Line plot: 14→5 Xs, 12→3 Xs, 34→2 Xs. Total data points?
→ 10
3
Line plot: 18→1 X, 28→4 Xs, 38→2 Xs, 48→3 Xs. How many values are less than 38?
→ 5
10
Line Plots with Fractions
★ Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1) A scientist measures lengths of 10 bugs in inches: 1/4, 1/2, 1/4, 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1/2, 1/4. How many X marks are at 1/4 on the line plot?
Answer: 4
2) Using the same bug data above, how many X marks are at 1/2 on the line plot?
Answer: 4
3) Using the same bug data above, how many X marks are at 3/4 on the line plot?
Answer: 2
4) Using the same bug data, the mode(s) of the data set is/are 1/4 and 1/2.
5) A line plot shows rainfall for 12 days: 0→2 Xs, 1/8→3 Xs, 1/4→4 Xs, 3/8→2 Xs, 1/2→1 X. The most common rainfall amount is 1/4 inch.
6) Using the rainfall data above, the number of days with more than 1/8 inch of rain is 7.
7) Students long-jumped (meters): 3/4, 1/2, 1, 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, 3/4, 1/2, 1, 3/4. The value with the most X marks is 3/4 meter.
8) Using the long-jump data, the number of students who jumped 1/2 meter or less is 4.
9) Using the long-jump data, the difference between the count at 3/4 meter and the count at 1/4 meter is 3.
