What are Line Plot Graphs? Math might be a subject that can cause confusion, nervousness, and hesitation. But math is also a subject that has its fair share of definitions and ideas that are fun and interesting. Understand how data is arranged can help you gain insight and make good decisions. Do you know what line plots are? But most importantly, do you know what graphs are? Let us take a look! A visual illustration of data that is too complicated and too detailed to be written in text is known as a graph. And what are line plots? Let us see what it is! Like the name indicates, a line plot is a type of graph which displays data on a number line. Creating a line plot is easy! The first step that you need to take is creating a number line and include all the values in the data. The next step that you need to take is putting an "x" or a dot for each data value on the number line. If a data value is repetitive, place a dot as many times as it occurs.
Line plots are great little graphs for comparing simple quantitative systems. Each value shows use the frequency of data. They are best used when we are displaying quantities less than twenty. When you work with data sets larger than that, it can get confusing. Line plots are often used to form criterion referenced graphs of test scores. These worksheets explain how to read and construct line plots (including determining the correct scale to use). Students will answer questions about the data presented in these plots.
