How the lesson starts: Read Line Plots

  1. Ranger Tess's caterpillars

    Hi friend! Ranger Tess found some caterpillars in the garden. She measured each one with a ruler. Then she made a line plot. Let's learn to read it!

  2. Each X is a caterpillar

    Each mark is one caterpillar. Find a length, then count the marks right above it. 3 centimeters has 2. 4 centimeters has 4. 5 centimeters has 1. 6 centimeters has none!

  3. How many altogether?

    How many caterpillars did Tess measure altogether? Add every stack. 2 + 4 + 1 + 0 = 7. The tallest stack, 4 centimeters, has the most. 6 centimeters has none at all!
