Let’s Learn Some More!

Q the Robot is having so much fun in New York City! He notices that not everyone uses cars to get around the city. Some people ride bikes, scooters, or skateboards along the sidewalks. Q wants us to make another line plot graph! Click the street below to see the people moving around town!

Can you make a line plot to show how many miles are traveled by each group of riders? Click through the slides below to help Q!

Slide: 1 / 2

First, we need to gather the data. Look at the mile measurement below to see how many miles are traveled by bicycles, scooters, and skateboards.

How many miles were traveled by each transportation type? Measure the distance above and then answer each question below. Click the button below each question to see if you are right!

How many miles did the skateboarders travel?

How many miles did the scooter riders travel?

How many miles did the bicyclists travel?

Q thinks it would be helpful to put this information into a table so that we can organize our data. Click to the next slide to see Q’s table of the riders we just measured.

Q uses the data to make a table.

Bicycles:
19 Miles

Scooters:
13 miles

Skateboards:
4 miles

Bicycles	19
Scooters	13
Skateboards	4

Now we can put the information from the data table into a line plot. A line plot helps us see the data.

Line Plot Graph: Skateboards = 4, Scooters = 13, Bicycles = 19

We can look at the line plot to quickly answer questions about the data. See if you know the answers to the questions below! Click the button to check your answers!

Which type of transportation traveled the most miles?

Which type of transportation traveled the fewest miles?

Thanks for helping Q create a line plot graph! Keep the steps in mind so that you can practice with him later in the lesson!
