About this worksheet
A line plot worksheet for 4th grade written straight at Common Core 4.MD.4. A science class measured 12 garden beetles to the nearest eighth of an inch, and the data box lists every length from 1/8 to 7/8. Students plot the twelve X marks themselves on a printed axis, converting 1/4 and 1/2 into eighths to place them, then answer seven questions: shortest, longest, the difference between them, how many beetles pass 1/2 inch, the combined length of the 1/4-inch beetles laid end to end, the shortest-plus-longest total, and the most common length, which turns out to be a tie. Answers included.
