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!
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!
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!
