A fraction line plot displays fractional data by placing marks above a number line scaled in fractional units (halves, quarters, eighths, etc.).
Like a regular line plot, but the number line uses fractions instead of whole numbers — each mark shows a measurement like 43 inch.

Example 1
medium
Data: 41: 1, 21: 3, 43: 2. Find the median.6 values ordered left to right. The 3rd and 4th both land on 1/2. What is the median?
Example 2
hard
Plot of ribbon lengths: 41:1, 21:2, 43:1. After Sam adds a 43 ribbon, does the mean increase, decrease, or stay the same?
Example 3
medium
A plot shows 2 dots at 41 and 2 at 43. What is the median?
Example 4
hard
Eight pieces of yarn measure 83 in (×3), 85 in (×3), 87 in (×2). If you tied them together end to end, what is the total length?
Example 5
challenge
A line plot has dots at 41 (×3) and 43 (×3), plus n dots at 21. The mean is 21. Find n.
Example 6
easy
On a line plot scaled in fourths, what fraction does the third tick after 0 represent?Fourths-scaled line plot. What fraction does the 3rd tick after 0 represent?
Example 7
medium
Plot has values 21: 2, 43: 2, 1: 2. Find total of all values.
Example 8
medium
Five seeds measured (in): 41,21,21,43,1. Find the mean.
Example 9
hard
Plot has data only at 41 and 43. The median is 21. What's the relationship between the dot counts?
Example 10
medium
On a quarters line plot, dots at 41: 2, 42: 1, 43: 3. Find the mode and median.
Example 11
hard
A line plot has these inch measurements: 21,21,43,43,1. If the longest piece is cut to match the shortest, what's the new total length?
Example 12
medium
Values 41,41,43 inch are plotted. What is their total length?
Example 13
challenge
Data at 41:3, 21:1, 43:0, 1:0. After adding one dot at 43, does the mode change?
Example 14
hard
A plot has 5 dots, all distinct: 81,82,83,84,85. Find the median.5 values, one at each position. The middle (3rd) value is the median — which position is it?
Example 15
easy
True or false: you connect line-plot dots with a line.
Example 16
easy
Dots: 41:2, 42:1, 43:3. How many data points total?Add the dot counts. What is the total number of data points?
Example 17
challenge
If a line plot has 8 values and the mean is 85, what is the total of all values?
Example 18
easy
If a plot uses quarters but a child measures 85 in, where should the dot go?
Example 19
easy
On a halves-scaled line plot from 0 to 3, how many tick marks are there counting 0?
Example 20
easy
How many eighths are between 0 and 1 on a line plot scaled in eighths?
