Key facts behind this grade 4 line plots test

Key facts
  • A line plot shows data above a number line, one dot per measurement.
  • The tick marks are equally spaced, for example every 1/4 or every 1/8.
  • A taller stack of dots means that length happened more often.
  • To find a total, add the length once for every dot.
  • To find a difference, subtract the shortest length from the longest.

How to use this grade 4 line plots test

Time yourself: the test is designed for an average student in 45 minutes. Answer the questions you are sure of first, then come back to the longer ones and check your units.
