School Transportation Plot

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is centered on a line plot that depicts the various modes of transportation students in grade 5 use to come to school. The line plot includes symbols for different transport methods-bicycle, car, bus, and walking-each with a corresponding number of ‘X’ marks that indicate how many students use each mode. The students working with this worksheet must analyze the line plot to answer questions about the number of students utilizing each mode of transport, compare the quantities between different modes, and determine the total number of students in the fifth grade.

The worksheet is designed to teach students how to interpret data from a line plot. By analyzing the number of ‘X’ marks above each transportation symbol, students practice counting and comparing quantities. The questions guide them to apply this information to understand patterns and make numerical comparisons, such as determining which mode of transport is more popular. This exercise also reinforces the concept of summarizing data by asking for the total count of students, thus enhancing their ability to use line plots for practical data analysis.
