Line Plot Lab: Line Plots Game for Grades 3‑6
Measure lab specimens to the nearest fraction and plot every one.
Read a ruler marked in halves, quarters and eighths, drop each specimen onto a line plot, then use the finished plot to answer questions: count, compare, add and subtract fractional lengths, and even out lengths to find an equal share.

What kids practise
Line Plot Lab gives students repeated, low-pressure practice with line plots, measurement, fractions, adding fractions, subtracting fractions, and data. It is written for grades 3-6, with levels that let younger and older players start at the right difficulty. Every question is generated fresh, so a replay is never the same, and a wrong answer shows the correct one so the round teaches as well as tests.
How it plays
Controls: Tap or drag on the line plot (or use Left/Right arrows, Shift = 1 inch) to choose a mark, then press Place or Enter; answer lab-report questions with the buttons or keys 1-4; P pauses, M mutes.
It works with a keyboard, a trackpad or a touch screen, so it runs on school Chromebooks, tablets and phones.
