Assess student understanding of reading and creating dot plots/line plots with a printable assessment for Year 5.

Let’s Take a Year 5 Line Plot/ Dot Plot Test!

Are you looking for a printable resource to assess student mastery of 5th grade measurement and data standards? Whether you call them line plots or dot plots, sometimes it’s hard to find the best resources and assessments for guiding your students through this area of the curriculum. No worries, though; Teach Starter has a comprehensive and rigorous assessment ready for use in your classroom!

The assessment has 15 questions. Students must complete the following types of Year 5 line plot problems.

  • Read a line plot with fractional increments and answer questions using data from the line plot.
  • Convert a data table into a line plot with fractional increments
  • Create a line plot using data in fraction increments

Students should complete the assessment independently to demonstrate mastery of these standards. This would also serve as a great review prior to a Year 5 Line Plot assessment; just edit the title!

An answer key is included with your download to make grading fast and easy!
