About this worksheet

A line plot shows measurements as marks above a number line, one mark for each object, and when the measurements are fractions it lets a child count, compare and add them. On this fifth grade sheet one line plot is printed once, and six questions ask how many objects have a measure, how many in all, and how long the objects at one mark are together. Each version has a different plot about something measured in fractions of a unit, and the answer key gives all six answers.

What your child will learn

  • Read a line plot
  • Count the marks above a measure
  • Add and multiply fractions of a unit
  • Find the biggest and smallest measures

Common Core standard: 5.MD.B.2

Worked example

Three marks above 1/2 foot mean three objects are 1/2 foot long; together they measure 3 × 1/2 = 1 1/2 feet.

Common mistake

Counting the number on the line instead of the marks above it.

Helpful hint

Each mark is one object. Count the marks above the number to find how many objects have that measure.
