Line Plots


Our second graders are supposed to learn about line plots, while first graders are simply supposed to master bar graphs.  Today's mini-lesson introduced the idea of the line plot to the whole group-- a graph where the choices are numbers.  I modelled this by surveying students about how many teeth they had lost.  Creating line plots were then required of second graders and offered as a choice for first graders during our ongoing graphing workshop.
