Features

  • Every lesson of the unit, in the same kinds of question as the test
  • Read a picture graph where each picture stands for 5, and draw the pictures for a graph with a key of 10, with half pictures
  • Read a bar graph that counts by 10s, with bars that stop between the lines, and draw the bars on a graph that counts by 5s
  • Answer a how many fewer question and a two-step how many more question from a bar graph
  • Measure to the nearest half inch and quarter inch with rulers at real size
  • Read a line plot marked in quarters and make one marked in halves
  • The last two questions are for the states that teach them in 3rd grade: tallying a survey into a frequency table, and listing the possible outcomes of a spinner
  • Answer keys name the lesson and skill of every question

Skills Covered

  • Read a picture graph with a key of 2, 5 or 10
  • Draw the pictures for a picture graph with a key
  • Read a bar graph with a scale of 2, 5 or 10
  • Draw the bars on a scaled bar graph
  • Answer one- and two-step how many more and how many fewer questions
  • Measure to the nearest half and quarter inch
  • Read a line plot marked in halves or quarters
  • Make a line plot from a table of lengths
  • Tally a survey into a frequency table
  • List the possible outcomes of a spinner

How to Use This Pack

Two pages that go over the whole unit on data and line plots, to do together the day before the test. Its 11 questions are the same kinds as the test's, in the same order, with other data. Questions 10 and 11 (a survey in a frequency table, and the outcomes of a spinner) are for the states that teach them, as on the test. There is no Score line: it is practice, not a grade. The pre-check and the unit test are packs of their own.

In the Classroom

Print at 100% (actual size) so the rulers measure true inches. Do the review together the day before the test. Work a question, then let students try the next one on their own, and stop on any that trip up more than a few. A class that follows the Common Core can stop after question 9. The keys name each question's lesson, so a question the class misses points to the lesson to go back to.

At Home

Use the review as practice before a test at school. Measure a few crayons or pencils to the nearest quarter inch together and make a line plot of the lengths.

Tips for Success

  • Look at the key or the scale before reading any graph
  • A half picture stands for half of what a whole picture stands for
  • A bar that stops between two lines is halfway between their numbers
  • Line up the end of the thing with the 0 on the ruler
  • Go back to the lesson the key names for a question the class misses

Common Core Standards Alignment

This pack supports the following Common Core State Standards for Mathematics:

  • 3.MD.B.3 Make picture and bar graphs where each symbol or square stands for several items, and answer one- and two-step comparison questions from them.
  • 3.MD.B.4 Measure lengths to the nearest half or quarter inch and show the measurements on a line plot marked in wholes, halves or quarters.

3rd Grade Data and Line Plots Unit Review

A review of the unit on scaled picture graphs, scaled bar graphs and line plots, to go over together the day before the test. Students read and finish graphs with a key or a scale, answer how many more and how many fewer questions, measure to the half and quarter inch, and read and make line plots.
