Understanding Line Plots with Fractions

This video tutorial reviews line plots and applies them to data involving fractions. It explains how to read line plots, count total items, and compare specific lengths using caterpillar measurements as an example. The video also includes interactive questions to reinforce learning and concludes with a suggestion to practice on Khan Academy.
