Let’s Learn!

$Step One$

Gather the data.

The first step to create our line plot is to gather our data. We already know how to make tally marks. Let’s look at the dog-walking data that Q gathered. The dog walkers have different numbers of dogs they walk. Remember, we are using a chart like the one in our first lesson. Let’s look at the chart.

Gather the data!

10 different dog walkers walk just 1 dog in the park.
8 dog walkers walk 2 dogs.
And 12 dog walkers walk 3 dogs.

$10 different dog walkers walk just 1 dog in the park. 8 dog walkers walk 2 dogs. And 12 dog walkers walk 3 dogs.$

From our chart, can you tell how many people are dog walkers?

$Step One$

Add the title and number line.

Our line plot graph is a number line. Q gathered data about dog walkers, so we will title our graph "Dog Walkers in Central Park." We are comparing how many dogs each dog walker has. So, the number line shows 1 dog, 2 dogs, and 3 dogs. Order from least to greatest or from the lowest number to the highest.

Draw our Graph!

$10 different dog walkers walk just 1 dog in the park. 8 dog walkers walk 2 dogs. And 12 dog walkers walk 3 dogs.$

Now we have the line-plot graph information. Let’s add the data! Line plots use an X for the objects that are graphed. In this graph, each X is equal to one dog walker.
