X 12

X 13

Answer some questions about the line plot. 1. How many students are at least 10 years old on the swim team? 2. How many children are 10 years old on the swim team? 3. How many children are less than 9 years old?

Now you try. The ages of the students in the science club are: 7, 7, 8, 10, 6, 6, 8, 11, 8, 9, 6, 11 Draw a line plot that shows the number of students at each age.
