• a title
• labels
• data
• a number line
• x's

We learned this by first practicing in the classroom using data representing the amount of cookies students ate in a week. We organized the data on a line plot, labeled, and titled it. Using the data we answered questions about the amount of cookies eaten. After we felt we understood the basics of line plotting, our class ventured to the connector where we made a human birthday line plot! We marked each month with an index card label and lined up in the month we were born. We found that 8 of us including the teacher are born in March and no one is born in June or August. The March line was so long we had to move its start forward so everyone could fit! We titled it Student Birthdays in Ms. Julian's Class.
