Fifth graders build a line plot from a baker's flour-per-batch list (1/4, 3/4, 1/2 cups...) — placing 4 X marks at 1/4, 4 at 1/2, and finding the bimodal mode of 1/4 and 1/2. The 12-batch total comes to 6 1/4 cups, then chores data adds counting people who spent less than 3/4 hour and ribbon data finds 3/8 meter as the most common length.
The matching section pulls it all together — modes, total data points, frequency comparisons. Building plots from raw data and reading them both ways gives fifth graders a complete view of how line plots organize fraction measurements.

Line Plots
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A baker records flour per batch in cups: 14, 34, 12, 14, 34, 12, 14, 1, 12, 34, 14, 12. How many X marks go at 14 on the line plot?
Answer: 4
2. Using the baker's data, how many X marks go at 12 on the line plot?
Answer: 4
3. Using the baker's data, the mode of the data set is 14 and 12.
4. Using the baker's data, the total flour used across all 12 batches (write as a mixed number) is 614 cups.
5. A line plot shows time spent on chores in hours: 14→5 Xs, 12→3 Xs, 34→6 Xs, 1→2 Xs. The total number of people surveyed is 16.
6. Using the chores data, how many people spent less than 34 hour on chores? Answer: 8.
7. A line plot shows ribbon pieces in meters: 18→3 Xs, 38→5 Xs, 58→2 Xs, 78→4 Xs. The value with the most X marks is 38 meter.
8. Using the ribbon data, the number of pieces that are 58 meter or longer is 6.
9. Using the ribbon data, how many more pieces are 38 meter than 58 meter? Answer: 3.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.

Answer: 4
2) Using the baker's data, how many X marks go at 1/2 on the line plot?
Answer: 4
3) Using the baker's data, the mode of the data set is 1/4 and 1/2.
4) Using the baker's data, the total flour used across all 12 batches (write as a mixed number) is 6 1/4 cups.
5) A line plot shows time spent on chores in hours: 1/4→5 Xs, 1/2→3 Xs, 3/4→6 Xs, 1→2 Xs. The total number of people surveyed is 16.
