Work in groups to make a line plot.
Follow the steps to help you.
Step 1 Give the line plot a title.
Draw and label the horizontal number line.
Step 2 Draw an 7 for each student above one number.
Step 3 Check that the number of 7s shows the data in the table.

1. How did you get the least and greatest number on the number line?
2. A survey asks 100 people how many children are in their families. All the
people answer 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4. Would a line plot be a good way to show
