Dot Plots

A dot plot stacks one dot per value—taller stacks mean more often

About This Practice

The dot plot is one of the simplest statistical charts: each data point becomes a dot, stacking up over its value on the number line. Max, min, and the most common value all pop out at a glance. Watch the cards fall into a plot, then answer questions that use every statistic you have learned.

Data cards tumble one by one onto the number line and stack into a dot plot. Read it to find the max, min, range, mode—and in challenge mode, the mean.

How to Play

  1. Tap New Data and watch the cards fall into a dot plot.
  2. Read it: one dot per value; taller stacks appear more often.
  3. Tap the tick that answers each question: max / min / range / mode.
  4. In challenge mode also compute the mean: total ÷ count.
  5. Wrong taps cost nothing—read the plot and try another tick.
