Line Plots Worksheets - 15 Worksheets Library - Free Printable

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are asked to make a line plot for the corresponding numbers shown with each icon.

Here’s what we have:

- Pink umbrella → 8
- Green phone → 5
- Blue camera → 4
- Gold trophy → 7
- Red magnifying glass → 3
- Red bucket → 6

A line plot is a number line where we put an “X” (or sometimes a dot or mark) above each number to show how many times that number appears. But in this case, each icon has only one number — so each number appears just once.

So we will place one mark (like an X) above each number on the number line that matches the value of the icon.

The number line at the bottom already has the icons placed under it — but those are just labels showing which icon goes with which position. We need to put marks ABOVE the numbers that correspond to each icon’s value.

Wait — actually, looking again: The number line at the bottom has the same icons drawn below it, aligned with tick marks. That means each tick mark represents the position for that icon’s number.

But here’s the key: In a line plot, you usually have numbers along the bottom and then stack X’s above them to show frequency.

In this worksheet, they’ve given us:

Top part: Icons with their values:
🌂=8, 📞=5, 📷=4, 🏆=7, 🔍=3, 🪣=6

Bottom part: A number line with arrows on both ends, and 6 tick marks. Under each tick mark is one of the icons — in this order from left to right:
🌂, , 📷, , 🔍,

That means the number line is labeled with icons, not numbers. So we must assume that each tick mark corresponds to the number associated with that icon.

So let’s map the positions:

Leftmost tick → 🌂 → value = 8
Next → 📞 → value = 5
Next → 📷 → value = 4
Next → 🏆 → value = 7
Next → 🔍 → value = 3
Rightmost → 🪣 → value = 6

But wait — that would mean the number line is NOT in numerical order! It’s ordered by the icons as listed top to bottom? Actually, no — the icons under the number line are in the same left-to-right order as they appear in the top box.

Looking back at the top box:

Icons are shown left to right: 🌂(8), 📞(5), 📷(4), 🏆(7), 🔍(3), 🪣(6)

And under the number line, same order: 🌂, 📞, 📷, 🏆, 🔍, 🪣

So the number line’s tick marks are positioned under these icons — meaning each tick mark is meant to represent the VALUE of that icon.

But in a proper line plot, the number line should be in numerical order — like 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 — and then we put X’s above the correct numbers.

I think there might be a misunderstanding in how the worksheet is set up.

Actually, re-examining: The instruction says “Make a line plot for corresponding number.”

And the blank space is between the top box and the bottom number line.

Ah! I see now — the bottom number line is probably meant to be the axis for our line plot, and the icons under it are just reminders of which icon corresponds to which number — BUT we are supposed to draw the line plot in the big blank space above the number line.

Wait — no, the blank space is huge, and the number line is at the very bottom. Probably, we are to use the number line at the bottom to create the line plot by placing X’s above the appropriate numbers.

But the number line doesn’t have numbers written on it — only icons under the ticks.

This is confusing.

Alternative interpretation: Maybe the number line at the bottom is pre-labeled with the icons to indicate which position corresponds to which value. So we are to treat the leftmost tick as representing 8 (because 🌂=8), next as 5 (📞=5), etc.

But that would make the number line go: 8, 5, 4, 7, 3, 6 — which is not in order. Line plots require the number line to be in ascending order.

I think there’s a mistake in my reasoning.

Let me look again at the image description.

The top box shows:

[🌂] [📞] [📷] [🏆] [🔍] []
↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓
8 5 4 7 3 6

Then below that, a large blank area.

At the very bottom, a number line with 6 tick marks, and under each tick mark, one of the icons in the same order: 🌂, 📞, 📷, 🏆, 🔍, 🪣

So the number line is labeled with icons, not numbers.

Therefore, to make the line plot, we need to put an "X" above each icon's position on the number line — because each icon represents one data point with its corresponding number.

But since each number appears only once, we put one X above each icon’s spot.

However, in standard line plots, the horizontal axis is numbered, and you stack X’s above the numbers.

Given the setup, I believe the intended solution is:

On the number line at the bottom, above each icon, draw one "X" — because each icon corresponds to one occurrence of its number.

So:

Above 🌂 (which stands for 8) → draw one X
Above 📞 (5) → one X
Above 📷 (4) → one X
Above 🏆 (7) → one X
Above 🔍 (3) → one X
Above 🪣 (6) → one X

That’s it. Since each number appears exactly once, each gets one X.

There’s no stacking needed because no number repeats.

So the final line plot will have one X above each of the six icons on the number line.

Let me double-check: Are any numbers repeated? Let’s list them: 8,5,4,7,3,6 — all unique. Yes.

Therefore, the answer is to place one X above each icon on the number line.

Final Answer:
Place one "X" above each icon on the number line: one above the umbrella, one above the phone, one above the camera, one above the trophy, one above the magnifying glass, and one above the bucket.
